Chapter 11- Unexpected
"I will destroy your family like you destroyed mine!" The green creature said as he looked at the shadowy figure that had a half truck over his head "I will kill everyone you know!"
"Could you do it…?" The figure slammed the truck down on the green monstrous creature, "QUITELY!"
"OW!"
The trucked groaned then suddenly it exploded
FABOOOM
The figure is knocked back on the front yard he has no strength to get back up; he hears the shuffling of the footsteps coming towards him, it's a young teenager with blonde hair one of his best friends.
"I think you got him." He said looking at the wreckage
He had to take deep breaths; he knew he didn't have long, "Good. That's…that's about…all I…had."
"Peter!" A feminine voice called out to him, he knew that voice all too well, "Oh my, Peter! We have to get you to a hospital." The redhead Mary Jane Watson looked in horror as she saw him bleeding from various wounds caked in blood from his face to his stomach.
"I can fly him!" The teen suggested
"Are you crazy? You can't move him!" She then turned her head to the stunned crowd, "Has anyone called 911?! Is anyone a doctor?!"
"I'm a doctor!" A voice said, "Come let me take care of you…" Consumed by the flames Mary Jane screams were ear piercing as she fell to the ground dead. Johnny tried to turn around only to be met with two hands coming around his throat suffocating him to death.
To his horror it was the last person he wanted to see, he had a bone-chilling grin that made the young teen shudder in distaste, "I told you, Peter, I will kill everyone that you hold dear to you! Now BURN!"
The scene changes into another scenario. In this dream it was very different, he is found outside in a park, everything was uprooted by a massive fight that had occurred.
"Whatever you are-" A being said, gathering energy ready to strike a monster down, "-You are no match for the Enigma force!"
What was not expected was a large hand to grab him by the face crushing it in the process, "Your precious primal force of creation? You poor fool that is pure life force!" Solus taunted the cosmic-powered superhero, "The power that my brood feasts on! While it may be too much for my any of my children to handle I on the other hand…I am one of the first of my kind, and my hunger knows no limits!"
When it was finished a drained cosmic powered being, he was a shell of his former self. He was dry as a raisin left out in the sun, he spoke in ragged voice; "Ugh…I had…ultimate…p-p-power…ultimate…responsibility…" he said weakly
The dream continues this time a booming voice is heard; "WHAT HAVE YOU DONE IN MY NAME BOY?!"
The dreamer turns to see an angered young youth in retaliation, "YOU WERE GOING TO LET THEM KILL HER! I HAD TO DO SOMETHING IF YOU DIDN'T!"
The shadow man voice was heard again; "You used me and her! I'd never allowed this to come to pass!" Raising his right hand the metal came behind the master of magnetism, "You've destroyed everything and everyone!"
A nauseating sound of metal tearing and smashing rang with the youth cries of torment. It was all quiet until a small still voice said these words "No… more… mutants…"
Once again the dream shifts this time the dreamer is in an office setting, he looks around when the door opens a familiar man comes through the door "I swear if it's Beyonder I'm going to…PETER WHAT IN BLAZES HAPPENED TO YOU?" Ezekiel was shocked he was not expecting a bruised, battered Spiderman with might I say a new black suit tore in various places slowly regenerating.
"H-hey…" He said, "You know more about this Morlun guy than I do…I need your help…"
Next, the dreamer is transported to a home where he sees a young boy on a staircase counting. "5, 4, 3, 2, 1 ready or not here I come Teresa!" A young boy about the of 7 said aloud
He was sitting on the stairways of his home when he got up to look for the girl named Teresa, his first stop was the living room as walked in he peered over the couch, no one was there. He looked at the curtains of the windows, the young boy saw a pair of shoes sticking out of curtains. He crept over to catch the girl name Teresa off guard but when he opened it a broom fell.
The boy frowned, he left to check elsewhere. Once he was in the hallway he opened the closet to find nothing so he closed it. The boy checked real quick where his family portrait was sitting on the table, within each portrait was a picture; one portrait was of him, in front of it was his mother with his father, him a girl with redhead together at Disney World, after came his parents on their wedding day and to the left was a picture of Teresa.
The door to his father studies opened, soon enough he found the person he was looking for "Aha I found you, Teresa!"
The little girl looked at the boy who was her height, the boy looked at her face it was pale, "What wrong?" he asked
She looked at their father's desk then to the window, "Look Peter!"
The lad heard the window slamming on the frame as he walked over to the front of his desk, "Dad! DAD!"
Richard came in the room in a hurry at the sound of his son calling, with a hand on the door he surveyed his studies; it was a mess papers on the floor, the chairs overturned and his window was broken in a particular spot next to the handled.
"Oh no…" he whispered, he rushed over to his son picking him up placing him next to his sister. Soon he went over to the curtains closed it, picked up his thrown drawer searching frantically in it. Soon he picked up a pin opening a secret compartment then he called, "Mary!"
Soon a redhead woman came in, "Richard what is…oh my…"
Mary quickly went over to her children picking up her son and placing Teresa at her side watching her husband going through the files of a folder that an 'O' crossed out. He looked at her, "Pack their bags…we're going to my brother's house."
A figure with an 'S' shield is flashed then finally the dreamer is transported to New York City on the Empire State building. He hears voices,
"Do you love me?"
The woman is taken aback by the question she let part of her face be seen, "What kind of question is that Spider? Of course, I do I never stopped loving you even if you were with little Miss Fashion model."
"No I mean do you love me as the Man, not the mask?"
The dreamer is intrigued, the woman bit her lips thinking hard about the question. A long pregnant pause followed the man was nervous from the anticipating answer, the dreamer saw him pulled her closer to him even if just a little.
"I want to see your face." The woman turned around the mask silvered back to reveal the face of hurt and broken man but his face, as well as the woman, was covered in shadow, tears were sliding down the woman leaned into him planting a soft kiss on his lips.
The kiss was passionate they broke for air their foreheads touched, Felicia stared into his brown eyes, and she said to him "I want to make this work"
Suddenly everything turns to white but not before 8 webs appear. 7 are circled around one in the middle with a web line from each connecting to it but two seems to be weakened about to come off. A figure of a bird emerged from one of them consuming everything in sight, the dreamer is too consumed screaming in pain as the fire washes over the dreamer.
"AHHH!" Leon jolted awake falling to the ground, "Ow! My head…" He feels something wet on his forehead, he pulls it off to find a leaf glowing in his hand confused at was going on he looks around his surrounding, the room was large enough to hold one person with personal supply. It was white, the window allowed light in from the sun it looked like it was beginning to rise as well there was a curtain dividing him from his roommate in this case however he noticed it was big enough to hold two people, he remembered about Felicia.
"Oh No…" Frantically he pulled the curtain to the side, he breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the said girl was sleeping peacefully, he went up to her tucking a loose hair behind her ear, "Wish I could make up my mind in who I would like to date or have a girlfriend but 5 years is a short time who knows what will happen to my conscious after that, I could be transported back to my real life at any given moment."
Felicia stirred yet not awakened the same leaf was on her forehead like the one Leon had on his hand. The anomaly looked down at his hand the leaf was gone, the door opens revealing Joel in his armor coming in with a tray of food and water, he places the tray on a table.
"I see that you are awake." He says in a hushed tone, "Come, come, and eat."
Leon goes to the table sitting down next to him, he looks at his breakfast; it was fruit with a mixture of pineapple, apple, strawberry, watermelon with French toast on the side covered in butter, with a glass of water to finish. He picked up a fork began to eat in silence.
Joel spoke at last, "I must warn you I will not be the only supernatural being you will come in contact with there will be times when the other side will tempt and make you fall."
"Beings like Mephisto for example."
"Hmph, you are very knowledgeable young man anomaly, my presence here will alert the underworld if not already but remember to test all spirits because they will disguise themselves as being of light remember there's the angelic and the demonic but I leave you with this call name of the Elohim and HE will deliver you," Joel said rising up
"Wait a moment before you leave, tell me…what happened to Morlun?"
"He won't be a bothering you for a while but just in case or anyone else does I will be there when you least expect me to. It is my duty to protect you as I was assigned to you, we are always watching."
"Got it and another thing how strong are you?" Leon asked, "I mean you're pretty tough for an angel if you managed to beat someone on levels like Morlun where do you rank in the angel hierarchy? Did they send someone important?"
Joel gave him an incredulous look, "The fact that I'm here babysitting you should tell you where I rank."
"Oh, sassy…"
"You asked for it so what are you complaining about?" He said with a laugh reaching for the door handle
"Wait! Do you know where Jessica Drew is?"
Joel paused, "Ah Jessica Miriam Drew, the poor girl. She has yet to be awake but she is in care of Hydra, the location will be given to you in time, now let me leave it is almost morning." The door is opened and the angel leaves.
Leon turns watching Black Cat rise from her slumber, her eyes adjusting to the room, "Hmm…that was good sleep…hmmm…." When she looks at the boy in the spider costume, "Peter Parker…you's Spider-Man? Well, then I could use this to my advantage now that I know your secret Spider."
The said boy touches his face, the mask was not there a slight mistake but he smirked, "You may know my secret Felicia…" The girl paled, "But your voice gave it away when I first met you on the roof, so no I found out first before you and I'm not the only one without a mask."
Felicia goes straight for her eyes, there was no mask; "Touché…what will you do now? I know your secret you know mine."
"Nothing." He said simply
"What do you mean nothing?" Felicia eyed him dangerously, "You could use my secret against me you could use it to blackmail me to get what you want…."
"The same can be said of you yet you are a daughter of a wealthy family I assume in which could deny your affiliation of being the notorious Black Cat or being related to the notorious cat burglar 'The Cat'." Felicia's eyes grow big, 'Peter' mentally chided himself, 'Perhaps I said too much' He continued, "Besides why would I want to do that? For reason do I need to blackmail you?"
Felicia was shocked, this is truly something she was not expecting; how was it possible that a man of his caliber wouldn't dream of using this type of information to get back at her? Surely, there was a catch…information was a powerful ally they both have power over each other a little bit more to her since he was right in assuming that she was wealthy she could easily deny her alter-ego…yet that last bit of information of her father being 'The Cat' how did he know? She eyed him from head to toe, she had to be very careful.
"You know we have school today so unless you want to be tardy I suggest that you eat something before we leave," Peter said turning away from her
"You are a very unusual person you know that."
"Tell me something I don't know." He said with a chuckle, "Most people think I'm weird but everyone is weird in their own special way."
"Hmm…very true." Cat got out of the bed into the chair next to Peter, "You know I really am interested in you Spider." She took a fork and began to eat, "Maybe we might have something in common."
"You're more interested in the mask than you are into the teenager Felicia." Peter said with a sigh, "A girl like you wants someone who will excite them in everything or any way possible I already have to deal with one girl already."
"Hmph, well aren't you the physic." She purred, "What's wrong with having a little fun? Don't you want to have some fun from time-to-time? Besides, you only live once and you never get it back."
"True that you only live once but what's the rush?" He shrugged, "Sometimes living in the fast lane isn't always the best way to go and neither is lollygagging, you miss the most important things in your life if you don't slow down, some people don't care they live their lives in the here and now trying to mark themselves in the history books before they leave this world behind. Then there's the eternity to think about but that's me mentally of thinking."
"So what you are saying is enjoy life while you can before regret certainly takes in and spend times with the ones you love, yes?"
"Basically in little words, yes…" Peter said taking a bite out of an apple, "You know…*munch*…you're pretty intelligent…*munch*…however you lack motivation…*munch*…don't you want to look back your life when you have your own kids and say this is what I have done?"
"Why would I if everything is handed to me on a silver platter why would I put in the effort?" Felicia asked, she took a piece a watermelon she savored the fruit, "Hmm…these fruits are very natural I don't know what it is but it's the best thing I've ever tasted."
"You got that right, this is good." Peter agreed yet he knew who served it, "Anyway to answer your question handing you a silver platter as you dub it is like a hollow victory, I guarantee whatever it was you took from where you were, you felt accomplished don't you want to do the same in your own personal life to have a little meaning that you did something, to show the world that you're not just a dumb blonde chick or something else."
"Hmm…" The girl didn't say a word, in a way he was right, she did feel accomplished the way she broke into that Police headquarters, her mother rarely did pay attention to her but she was a busy woman.
"You got a friend in me Felicia and yes I did quote Toy Story." A grin plasters on both their faces, "I know a bit corny but I'm all about the corn, so if you need fresh corn you know where to find me."
A giggle escapes her lips, "You are impossible yet so mature tell me, wise monk, why are you like this?"
"I had help growing up."
"I can see that, you must have been dropped when you were a toddler, it must of have rewired your brain."
"Gasp how you'd know?"
The silence floated to the surface, it wasn't awkward it was comfortable. Peter looked around the room for a clock when he found it on a wall next to a shelf it was nearly six in the morning, he looked and he noticed that their mask was right in front of them, when he turned again where Joel left there were two backpacks one for Felicia the other for him.
"Well, as much as I would like to spend more time with you Felicia I think we should start heading out to school." Peter said standing up grabbing his backpack, "I'm going to change."
"Hmm…you better not peek…" Felicia said in a flirty tone, "Though I wouldn't mind if you did, you've got my interest Peter and I will catch what I want."
"Oh no you don't the game was other at school."
"Well the game has started once again and it will not end till one us is the winner and I don't intend to lose." Felicia came up to him swaying a little her hips, she noticed how he tensed up. She circles her arms around his neck, "This is what's to come as well and thank you for the enlighten talk." She kissed him on the lips and he responded which caused her to deepen the kiss and him tightening his hold on her. When they broke apart he poked his chest, "You're going to be mine and no one is going to stop me."
"Get in line…I got a few girls after me."
Whispers were going around as to why Felicia and Peter walked in together chatting about different things, yes there were on time to school thanks to via Spider-Man transport. News about Peter house being attacked had everyone talking about it or gossiping, he managed to walk in the door when suddenly two blurs came up to him crashing into him hugging tightly. Harry, Gwen, and MJ were ecstatic that he was ok, they definitely had much to talk about. Much of the day in school was uneventful save the fact that Flash Thompson came to his locker that afternoon as he wanted to extend his condolences on his family being attacked last.
"Hey, Parker!" Flash voice boomed
Peter looked up from his lock, "Not today Eugene." He went back into opening his locker to grab his books
Flash came over places a hand over his shoulders, "Hey man look I just want to talk." What Flash wasn't expecting for his face to be kissing the locker while his arms are in a locked behind his back, from the corner of his eye he saw Peter was not in the mood, "It feels better, right?" He swallowed, "Look, your home got attacked…I know what that feels like on being attacked, I'm sorry."
Everyone stopped what they were doing watching the scene unfold, not sure which direction this would take. Flash felt the pressure off him, Parker looked him square in the eye.
"I appreciate and accept your apology but there is one thing I have been meaning to say to you know." He said, "Let Bygones be bygones how about it Flash?" Peter stuck out his hand in the air, "Enough is enough."
"Alright, we cool then…" Flash clasped his hand with his shaking it firmly
After that the day went normal, he told Harry, Gwen, and MJ about his little adventure last night leaving out the part the Joel was Angel sent from The One Above All. Harry mentioned that his father wanted to show him the lab so Peter accepted the invitation still he couldn't figure out why Harry all of sudden got beefed up.
It was after school that they arrived at Osborn Industries, after giving Aunt May a call she was worried sick about him but he promised that he would talk to her about what happened last night when he came home. From the car, Peter snorted at the words 'Working towards your future.'
Harry and Peter walked through the lab, "Well what do you think?"
"What can I see I'm thoroughly impressed by all the technological advancement OSCORP is doing." Peter said shaking his head, "I'm sure it beats working in an office building any day of the week I could definitely work in a place like this."
"You would?"
"Yes…more or less," Peter responded
"I know."
"By the way how's studying the company going for you," Peter asked
"Tough work, it's not easy, he still won't say anything to me."
"Keep at it I'm sure one day you gain his approval."
"Very funny…" Harry looked over to where two scientists are working on genetics, he recognized one of them, "Yo, Doc Ock!"
The good turned and smiled, "Harry good to see lad." He walked over to them as he introduced him to his friend, "Peter I want to you to meet Doctor Otto Octavius, he's one of the big brains around here."
"Doc Ock?" Peter mused
"Just Doctor Octavius will do." He said with a frown then it turned into a smile, "I hear from Harry that you quite talented in the skill of Science."
"Skilled yes, big brain no." 'Peter' looked at the computer he racked his host body for the name of the computer, "Is that a 9-640's?"
"Oh, you don't want that it's old," Otto said
"Can I have it when you throw? It as they say one man's trash is another man's treasure."
"Maybe." Octavius said Peter walked up to one of the tanks that contained a specimen in this case a rabbit, "So Mr. Parker, Harry tells me that you had quite an unfortunate incident with one of our arachnid experiments…"
Peter shoots up glancing behind him for a moment before focusing his attention to Harry sending him a dirty glare who is trying to ignore the fact his best friend is staring at him menacingly, 'Harry you are so dead.' Returning back to the bunny inside the container he brushes it off, "It's really no big deal."
"Oh no, with something like that happening there is bound to be some side effects, drowsiness, nausea, dizziness…any symptoms as such occurred?"
"Nope…" Peter responded still focusing on the rabbit, "What do you do with these animals anyway?"
"We check the blood work for reactions."
"I hate needles." Peter shivered involuntarily, "What type of reactions?"
"Simple blood work, like an ordinary blood test surely you have taken some blood test yourself." Peter was still focused on the rabbit didn't notice Octavius pulling out a needle. "Why don't we take some of your blood samples and show you what exactly we do here."
"Err…I think I'll pass…" His head is buzzing but it's too late as Ock slams the needle inside Peter arm "YEOW!"
Harry turns quickly from talking to one of the scientists, "What happened?"
"What the heck is your problem?!" Peter stands back defensibly 'Sly old Ock always getting the drop on Spidey or rather in this case me. Ugh, how did I not see that coming when he was talking about blood work? It official Doc Ock earns his place as Spidey notorious nemesis…I don't know whether to be impressed or terrified.'
"My apologies Peter I was merely taking a sample."
Peter looked at the vial that had his blood, the gears in the head-turning, 'With that blood sample I wonder if they could…yes…yes they could…' He smiled, "You know Doctor my blood has very unique properties may be a scientist such as yourself could I don't know find a way to duplicate it in some form of way, I look forward to some experimentation even if you do it behind Normans back I do believe as well that Mr. Warren wouldn't mind helping you."
Octavius brow furrowed, not understanding the meaning of why…then it hit him… "Yes, of course, I'm sure we will find something, I also said to Harry that I would like for him to come to see the expo coming up next month on the 12th of May with a friend, would you be interested?"
"It will be a pleasure." Suddenly Peter sees images and starts to hear some voices; 'The elevator opened to reveal a high tech scientific facility, with a dual working escalator. There is a room filled with technology computers that were running at high speeds or beeping rhythmically, there was also some tables and holograms display.
"Those computers have to be running at least 33.86 petaflops per second. What is this place?"
"Your new laboratory Master Parker, this is where you will change the world; this lab is filled with high tech defensive that already surrounds around the house such as laser guns, shock nets, nonlethal darts and electrified floors that are being made as we speak, as well 3 Talos supercomputers that process data faster than Stark Industries." The hologram appeared once again, "Shall we continue the tour?"
Peter is taken out of the vision when a hand is on his shoulders, he looks back at Harry giving him a questioning look; he waves him off.
Later in his office, Norman Osborn watched hungrily as the Octavius along with another coworker presented the blood cells before him.
"As you can see the boy is a healthy specimen…if not healthier. His metabolism is somewhat akin to say that of a long distance runner or an Olympic level athlete." Otto stated
"And this is good news how?"
"The spider bite has helped his genetic makeup any detrition has been reversed stabilizing his body even further."
"Stabilize," Norman whispered
"With your permission Mr. Osborn I would like to spend more time with the test subject to perform a series of test…"
"That will be all, thank you, doctor. Have a good night."
"But sir!" Otto began to protest
"Good night Otto!"
The said doctor balled his hand into a fist leaving the CEO to his thoughts. As he left the office the words of Peter rang through his mind, or at least part of it; 'my blood has very unique properties may be a scientist such as yourself could…I don't know…find a way to duplicate it in some form of a way... I do believe as well that Mr. Warren wouldn't mind helping you'
The said doctor puzzled at the implication, why the hidden meaning? What is he getting at? Why would he insist on duplication…wait a moment…Miles Warren was a researcher of cloning organism…could it be that Mr. Parker knows about cloning? If so he wouldn't be so casually saying things like that on purpose just to get something. Maybe the boy was on to something with his blood, this would require more research.
It was late when he got to Ezekiel's office but traffic was long and the window was up, Harry couldn't believe what his best friend was implying, he'd asked of him to take the Oz formula so he can research it that way he could know what was wrong with it. "So let me get this straight…you want me to take…no…steal one of my father's test tube so you can do research on it so I can inhale it?"
Peter nodded sheepishly
"You are out of your damn mind if you think I'm going to do it!" Harry pointed an accusing finger at him, "I agreed to be part of your little crusade against the war on crime but to do that…Peter, there's a line I won't cross."
"Look, Harry, I understand it was too much to ask but without the formula, you can't be in the unit like that all casual, you're going to get yourself killed." Peter tried to explain, "I'm sorry, with all the gadgets you can accumulate within your father business you could be one of the best crime-fighters there is."
"Yes but without the formula I mean look Tony Stark for crying out loud, he's freaking Iron Man."
"Yeah but Tony Stark is Multi-billionaire playboy genius-level inventor who happens to be with the Avengers." Peter said smugly, "What exactly can you do? I don't mean it to offend you but what exactly can you do Mr. Osborn?"
Harry opened his mouth to protest only no words could come out of his mouth, he opened and closed to refute Peter but he couldn't he was right, besides being the son of a millionaire Harry couldn't count what he could do. Sighing he leaned back pinching the bridge of his nose, "You are going to get me in so much trouble, Peter."
Peter now feeling guilty, "Listen, Harry, I'm not here to manipulate you nor I am going to sugarcoat anything. This crime-fighting unit I want to build is to help the citizens of New York or even the world, who knows what threat level we are going to face in the future I want to be prepared now but if you don't want to do it then don't, I'm sorry…"
"No Peter I want to do this just as much as you do maybe you right but like I said there is a line I won't cross."
"Understandable, you along with Lorina are going to be my finical backers…"
"I still don't know how you got that girl to agree to this."
"Why Mr. Osborn…" Peter said with a coy smile, "My powers of reason go beyond your cable little mind."
"Yeah right, try telling that to Felicia." Harry shook his head, he taps his chin, "I can't believe she wants you and that she's the Black Cat."
"Don't say anything I respect her privacy I only told you Gwen and MJ in confidence if word got out that she's starting her criminal career and I told you guys about her identity she'll expose me faster than I can web her mouth shut."
"That is true."
The window of the limo opens "Master Harry we have arrived at WebCorps."
"It's only 10 in the night…" Peter said looking at his phone
"I cannot say it enough I can't believe you got attacked by a supervillain and I still cannot believe that Ezekiel Sims is paying for the property damage."
"Yeah but I doubt this will be the last time I see that Morlun guy."
After pulling to the curb Peter gathers his things and says goodbye to his friend, he goes inside where he meets security, one of the guards buzzes for the CEO. After a few moments of waiting Ezekiel comes personally greeting Peter, they make small talk walking to the elevator.
"Thanks again for taking us in."
"It's no trouble at all Peter, its least I could do after Morlun attacked your home." The older man said
"How's Cindy and Erika doing?" Peter asked
"Erika is fine, resting if you will despite her injuries…Cindy, on the other hand, is not so happy about being locked in her bunker, nor is she happy with you."
Peter chuckles nervously, 'Way to go Leon now he's going to give me the talk, I just know it.'
Once the elevator stops it opens to a new place the older gentleman motions with his hand to the right, "This way please, there are a few people who want to see you."
"Can I stop by and see Erika first."
"Of course."
A few moments later Peter's heart aches at the sight before him, there the doppelganger of this world Elektra looked batter and broken with wires sticking out of her. Peter goes inside next to her bedhead, gently he caresses her face the notion awakens the girl as her blue eyes open for a moment to see her visitor. When her eyes stare into his chocolate ones she gives a small smile, her eyes then close as she slowly nuzzles her face into his hand letting out a sigh of contentment.
He leans into her ear whispering, "I'll be back for you Erika, I'm going to see my aunt and uncle…stay strong." His hand retreats back to his side, he wasn't going to agitate her by saying he was going to visit Cindy later on the girl needed her rest.
A few moments later he was in a kitchen with a sight of dear aunt May humming washing dishes, Uncle Ben reading the paper while Cindy was let out doing her work from school might I add trying to play catch up.
"Ahem."
The trio looked up to see Peter, he waved, "Surprise…"
The three of them rushed to him but Cindy was the one beat the two as she crushed him in a hug while beating his chest, "Stupid, stupid, stupid, stupid boy! Parker do you have any idea how worried we were?!"
"Cindy…" He wrapped his arms around her closing her in a hug which she returned fiercely, Aunt May, and Uncle Ben came up to the teens wrapping them in a hug. Ezekiel excused himself momentary as a few sniffles were heard. Peter finally let the words go, "I'm sorry…for worrying you…all of you…"
"The important thing now Peter is that you're safe." May said with a smile but it soon disappeared, "Although young man you have a lot of explaining to do."
"That's right son, you have a lot of explaining to do to all of us you know something that we don't as well what happened to you out there?"
"You guys might want to sit down for this," Peter said
The four of them listened intently as the boy retold the tale with him battling Morlun he left out no detail except his real name as well he was going to be leaving this body in 5 years just as he did with his other friends when he finished the four of them were in shock. They couldn't comprehend what had happened to him.
"So this 'angel' came and helped you defeat Morlun?"
"That's right, I black out but he confirmed that Morlun will not be a threat to me for a while."
Ezekiel stroked his chin, "Speaking of whom how did you know about the inheritors? More importantly, how did you know how to beat one as well how did you know about my bunker?"
Leon had to think quick, summoning his memory from the comics and movies he carefully constructed his response, clearing his throat he took a deep breath, 'I'm going to hate myself in the morning for lying but right now the truth will definitely send them into denial until I get Rogue or Xavier to scan my mind heck even Psylocke will do.' Summoning his courage he began, "The reason I know so much is that …because…look what I'm about to say stays in this room, not a living soul must know…"
"Peter get on with it," Cindy said
"I'm future."
Silence from all of them, Leon swallowed he could feel his heart-tugging at him as his conscious whispered or did he hear a small voice telling him lying was wrong?
"Be serious Parker we are in no mood for jokes!"
"I agree with Cindy dear, tell us the truth…" Aunt May said with a look of disapproval, "You know we raised better than that."
"I am telling you the truth!" Peter emphasized, "I'll prove it to you; the day we went to wrestling arena that you disapproved Aunt May was the day Uncle Ben should have died! There were also things wrong as well, Gwen was not with me that day neither were you. That day I insisted that I take the train to go instead of going with Uncle Ben…" He had to act this out be emotionally but not to draw it out suspiciously, with a deep sigh and downcast look, "Uncle Ben dropped me off, I wanted to leave but he wanted to talk…"
"What did we talk about Peter?" Uncle Ben looked at his nephew, he swallowed hard, this was unbelievable; time travel, was that even possible? But having a nephew with spider powers was unbelievable in itself
"We talked about a few things; to be honest I really didn't want to talk to you because I wanted to go into the wrestling arena, yet you persisted in having the talk with me." Peter glanced carefully at each one so far his lie was convincing them, "You told me how distant I was becoming because before them I didn't know how you'd react with me telling you that a radioactive spider bit me, you even told me about that fight with Flash which I didn't start…you told me that I was changing into a man with great power and with this great power comes great responsibility. We went back forth with each other until I threw it in your face…" Peter looked down in shame as convincingly as he could keeping silent swallowing
"Peter, what did exactly did you throw in my face?"
"I told you to stop lecturing me and you agreed even going as far as telling me that you knew that you weren't my father and I said stopped pretending to be." A small gasp escapes May, even Cindy was shocked, "I threw it in your face out of anger because I was so tired of being bullied, being put down I thought I could use my powers to better myself that I knew better. I knew that hit a sore spot and I got out the car you told me that you going to pick me up at 10. I still remember the look of despair in your feature Uncle Ben, it haunts me to this day, so instead of going to the library I go to the arena, I won but the fight promoter cheated me with a lousy 100 dollar bill so instead of catching the crook I let him go and the guy tells me 'You could have taken that guy apart now he going to get away with my money!' So I told him 'I missed the part where that's my problem.' The same line he told me I said it back to him."
Ezekiel was about to speak yet Peter held his hand up, "Please let me finish…Little did I know it was going to be my problem, 10 o'clock was rolling about I was looking for Uncle Ben's car, only I found that people rushing to one particular spot…" He pauses, he pinches the bridge of his nose tightening his lip as his eyes began to water, "I really wish I did stop him the first time…"
Cindy goes up to him up embracing him as he the tears fell and he choked, he held her tightly, squeezing her; she gently rubbed his back, "It's okay, it's okay…"
May follows suits, she could feel her heart pounding "My dear boy be strong, what happens…"
"Please…give me a moment…." Peter sniffles were heard, finally, after a moment or two, he sighs deeply, "When I walk on scene Uncle Ben is lying on the floor in a pool of his own blood…the gunman that we saw trying to take the car that I gave money to…was the same one who pulled the trigger by accident…the man we saw was desperate to get money to his sick little daughter but instead of handing him money his partner came and spooked I guess and shot Uncle Ben but I didn't know it at the time and I went after the crook, to make a long story short I confronted him in a warehouse I instantly knew who it was when I saw the face, the memories of letting him go just persist…if only I stopped him in time you wouldn't have died."
The air was eerie in silence save for the sniffling of the 'distraught' teen, Ezekiel wasn't too sure if he was buying this, "That does not explain how you came to be in the past just how far are you from the future? Time travel is only a theory not yet to be proven."
"You believe in the multiverse Mr. Sims in my time it's possible…*sniff*…" Peter wipe his eyes, "Morlun is proof of that. How I came to be was during a fatal accident with an experiment gone wrong in one of my laboratories; Mr. Sims I'm 16 years from the future, my life has been a living nightmare or inconstant I blacked out during the explosion and suddenly I find myself in my old pre bitten state."
"So tell me future boy, do you know who wins the war with Inheritors?"
"I do but I won't tell you how it ends."
"What?! You have knowledge of the future and you refuse to share that wealth information surely you are out of your mind Mr. Parker."
"There is too much information that one cannot know, if that person knows they can't handle it they will die of a heart attack, they are not God who knows past, present and future. There is a lot of stuff I like to keep to myself but one thing for certain I'm here to correct some of my past mistakes starting with my relationships." He grabs Cindy by the waist pulling her close, "I released Cindy from the bunker after you kept her inside for 13 years in isolation after your death that is not the way to go, if you can help me train 3 bitten teenager I'll greatly appreciate it. I would like to get to know Cindy first because our last relationship was forced instead of friendly."
Cindy nodded knowing what he was implying, Ezekiel nodded, "Very well, I'll train you and your friends but it has to be on my terms."
"No deal, it's going to be on my terms with the people I choose to be with this team."
"Why? You and I both know about them so why included non-spider beings who have no business in this matter? Will you risk the lives of your friends just because you know future events?"
"One hand cleans the other." Peter simple stated, "If I can befriend the people that I know then we might have a shot at beating them but that's not all I know certain villains who are repeat villains they won't stop until I'm dead, I can't do this by myself, I need a team who not only defend New York but we to be global and I need not only you Ezekiel but you two as well."
After much Q and A the three out of five of them retreated to separate rooms, Peter went to see Erika or Elektra again who was still sleeping, they questioned why the daughter of the Greek Ambassador was here he explained that this Elektra was doppelganger from another universe so it was going to be hunt to which universe she belonged to.
"You know Elohim wants me to tell you lying is a sin and it can be forgiven if you repent."
"I know…" Leon said he turned to face Joel, "God forgive me but they can't know yet."
"It's going to be difficult down the road, you are going to encounter many things that will challenge you it will be put you to the test."
"Tell me something I don't know."
"Don't get snippy me young one, I'm here to guide you on the path of righteousness." Joel reaches into his pouch, "Here your answered question." He stuck up his first counting his fingers, "Three things this lie that you created will only go so far it will be a matter of time before the truth is revealed that's number…number two you cannot prevent everything certain must come pass." Two fingers went up and finally a third, "You flirting with Gwen, Cindy, Felicia and Elektra will be your undoing, you are playing a dangerous game and you will burn hard."
"I know…" Leon reaches over palming the device, his eyes go wide as he recognizes the logo of an Eagle, "Is this…wait a minute isn't Elektra supposed to wake up?"
"She's in a deep sleep."
"Ah, but is this what I think it is?"
He smiled, "You tell me."
Aunt May and Uncle Ben were deep in conversation as they laid down in bed, they were still trying to process all this information that was given to them. They still couldn't believe that their nephew was from the future, that poor boy what did he go through that made his life miserable after the death of Ben. Finally, they tried to go to sleep but sleep was evading one of them, finally May got up from her bed putting on a robe and slippers walked out of the room.
"My precious little boy, what happened to you in the future?" She whispered in the cold hallway, she noticed a shadow climbing above her head moving quickly in the far, she followed it. After few quick jogs she noticed the figure looking around before punching the elevator, she hid from view observing.
"Come on…come on…"
She recognized the voice, 'What's Peter doing in the middle of the night?' Finally, the door dings open she clearly hears, "They are going to kill me for this I just know it." May was taken aback what was he about to do? When she sees him enter with the door closing she follows suit, determined to find out what her nephew was doing. She noticed that he was heading towards the roof, "Why is he going there?"
Later on the roof May opens the door silently as she sees her nephew pacing back and forth, she waited a few more moments before she made her presence known, "Peter?"
He froze turning to her, "Aunt May what are you doing here?"
"I can't sleep Peter what are you doing up here and in your Spider-Man costume," May ask tapping her foot
"I…well…funny thing about that…" He gasps "Spider-sense!" Before either could react a gas canister appears by both their feet, "Uh-oh…"
Suddenly gas fumes the air and both nephew and aunt are knocked out by the gas. From the shadows a woman with red hair comes out, she wears a black leather synthetic stretch fabric suit which has been augmented to be highly resistant to damage even small arms fire and high temperatures that leaves nothing to the imagination on her wrist gauntlets with wrist cartridges containing various tools. In her holster, various automatic weapons and firearms, combat knives and explosives as needed. She bends down checking their pulses, then touching her ear, "This is Black Widow I've located the source of the beacon, it's the rumored Spider-Man and an elderly woman. What would like you like me to do Fury?" After moments of silence, "Understood I'll bring them in for questioning."
"I will destroy your family like you destroyed mine!" The green creature said as he looked at the shadowy figure that had a half truck over his head "I will kill everyone you know!"
"Could you do it…?" The figure slammed the truck down on the green monstrous creature, "QUITELY!"
"OW!"
The trucked groaned then suddenly it exploded
FABOOOM
The figure is knocked back on the front yard he has no strength to get back up; he hears the shuffling of the footsteps coming towards him, it's a young teenager with blonde hair one of his best friends.
"I think you got him." He said looking at the wreckage
He had to take deep breaths; he knew he didn't have long, "Good. That's…that's about…all I…had."
"Peter!" A feminine voice called out to him, he knew that voice all too well, "Oh my, Peter! We have to get you to a hospital." The redhead Mary Jane Watson looked in horror as she saw him bleeding from various wounds caked in blood from his face to his stomach.
"I can fly him!" The teen suggested
"Are you crazy? You can't move him!" She then turned her head to the stunned crowd, "Has anyone called 911?! Is anyone a doctor?!"
"I'm a doctor!" A voice said, "Come let me take care of you…so you can GET OUT OF MY BODY! GIVE ME BACK MY LIFE!"
Peter is jolted awake, he gasping for air, "The same dream…" He looks around, he's in a medical wing with lots of high tech gadgets, "Where…" He hears a soft groan, he looks at his aunt, "Aunt May!"
"Welcome to S.H.E.I.L.D Medical Wing." Another voice said, "Hope you two had a nice nap."
"S.H.E.I.L.D?" The older woman gets up slowly, "Wait a moment, I know that voice is that you Nicholas Joseph Fury?"
"Well then you haven't gone senile in your old age have you May? You look very stunning after all these years." An African American man came from the shadows, revealing he had an eye patch on his left eye, "So you're the rumored Spider-Man."
"I take it you guys know each other?"
May was not amused, "Spider-Man what did you?"
"Well, …umm….you weren't supposed to be here…."
"Well I'm here now, young man, you are going to be in so much trouble."
Spidey laughs nervously and suddenly he begins to gag, everything was spinning out of control his whole body begins to shake, his eyes roll to the back of his head as he lays on the bed having a seizure the last thing that happens is the voice of May calling out to him, "SPIDER-MAN!"
