DBZ stargate ninjawars: Those are good points that I have planned for, but didn't think of involving a telepath. I might with that later
Hivedragon: I don't think I'll do something like that but maybe she will play a part in it.
I had trouble getting this up so its shorter than I'd like.
'Peter Parker' The sinister voice called again.
Peter looked up from the black webbing he was trapped in with a deadpanned expression. "Is this one of those recurring nightmares? Would it be too much to ask for a good dream. Like with super models, preferably red heads. I like red heads."
The white eyes and mouth formed in front of him. 'Will you except us now?'
"No thanks. I saw invasion of the body snatchers. I don't like that."
'We are stronger together. We share an enemy. He hurt us, experimented on us. Don't you want revenge?'
"Tempting, but I prefer to keep my hands on the wheel…unless I'm in a car. Then I just crash."
It growled in frustration. 'We only want to help, to make you stronger.'
Peter sighed. "This isn't a dream, is it. What are you?"
'We are of the klyntar. Our brothers find hosts and assume control.'
Peter glared. "So you are trying to control me."
'No! We did not believe as they did. We believed in helping the host, in symbiosis.'
The surroundings changed and peter found himself in a desolate frozen place. In a nearby cave, a strange egg shifted into an amorphous black substance.
'We first woke in a cold place, and sought out a host.'
The scene shifted and peter saw the silhouette of a creature conquering it's own people.
'Our first host taught us rage, and we helped slaughter many. We didn't care, we only wanted to help the host.'
Everything changed again and it showed it being cast away by it's kind. It began showing it in several forms, killing and rampaging through the galaxy.
'We learned much, experienced much, and killed much. We were named venom because we poisoned those around us.'
It showed it falling to earth and being captured by oscorp.
'They caught us here. Experimented and bonded us to an insufficient host.'
It then showed their own meeting.
'You are different, more complex. You taught us guilt, and we want to help you as atonement.'
Peter considered this. "Will you try to control me?"
'No, we will be one.'
"…trial period, we'll see what happens."
Peter slowly dragged himself out of bed. It was the day after he arrived and he was still getting used to this. He did appreciate having a bed that didn't fight back though.
He heard a knock and formed a pair of black jeans and a shirt. He shivered. That was something to get used to.
He opened the door and jean stood on the other side. "Doctor gray."
"Hank has some concerns about the suit. He wants to-"
"He found out its alive right?" Peter interrupted.
Jean gave a perplexed look. "How did you know?"
He shrugged. "We talked, made a deal. Its all good for now."
"oh…ok then. I'll inform hank, but he may still want to run tests."
He nodded and jean left.
Logan was making his way through the halls, when Ororo came up to him. "Logan! Director Fury is here to see you."
He frowned, knowing what he came for. Logan followed her to the front doors where fury was asked to stay.
"What do you want fury?" He got to the point.
Fury wasn't intimidated. "Good to see you too, logan."
He growled and released his claws. "Don't play with me, Nick, why are you here."
Fury's face became serious. "You know why. He isn't a mutant, and therefore out of your jurisdiction. We'll take him."
"So you can make him work for you? Not happening."
He suddenly heard a noise and looked up as Iron Man landed loudly, in a flashy pose as usual. He strutted up to them as several mutant children stopped what they were doing in worry.
"Nice to see you wolvie." He greeted.
Logan looked between the two with a hard stare. "That's how your going to play it, fury?"
Ororo looked ready for anything from where she stood behind logan and the children in the area stiffened.
"He doesn't belong here." Fury told them.
"He'd make a good avenger." Tony butted in.
Logan wasn't having it. "The answer is no. I made a promise and I intend to keep it."
Fury glared and got into his face. "Is that what this is about? Mary chose richard and now your going to play daddy to her kid."
"You shut that mouth, before I rip your tongue out, fury." Logan warned.
THUMP
They turned when a black and white, masked figure landed beside them.
"There a problem here?" Peter asked, having noticed a commotion.
His masked eyes trailed tony as he walked up to him. "Your what all the fuss is about? No offence kid but you don't look like much."
Normally, he would geek out in moments like this. But that was a year ago and right now, stark seemed like a possible threat.
He examined tony in return. "You aren't much are you? Regular or premium?"
"Funny." Tony deadpanned.
He turned away, but abruptly turned back and threw a punch. Peter caught it and the metal creaked under the pressure.
"Stark! Quit showboating." Fury warned.
Peter squeezed and tony dropped to a knee. "Might want to do what he says, sometimes I don't know my own strength."
He released tony and walked to logan's side. Tony looked at his crumpled gauntlet and immediately began planning countermeasures.
Fury addressed peter. "You don't belong here. You can do some real good with the avengers. With some training of course."
"I'll keep that in mind, you can go now." Peter dismissed.
Fury gave a hard look. "We'll see each other again soon. Until then mister parker."
Tony flew off and fury walked away. The mutants went back to their business and logan turned to peter. "Go find laura and tell her to bring you to the danger room. I'll meet you there."
Norman walked into a lab that was dimly lit. A single light shone down on a grey haired man who's attention was currently on the work spread over his desk.
"Miles, how goes the work?" Norman asked.
Miles Warren grinned. "Excellent, I think I can work with what we have."
"Good. Alistair is quickly losing purpose and I need something to fall back on." Norman informed.
Miles nodded. "Of course. We had a good DNA sample. He should be ready to wake in a few days time."
"And how is the enhanced subject doing." Norman asked.
Miles turned and flipped a switch. A wall lit up to reveal a padded cell. A young blonde girl was huddled up in the corner, trembling harshly. Her messy hair draped over her blue eyes and she tried to avoid looking at the two men.
"She is doing quite well. Another two sessions and she'll be ready for a field test." Miles said with a smile.
"Good. See to it that she is."
Miles waited for norman to leave and walked over to the girl's cell. He entered and kneeled before the girl. She began to tremble even harder.
"Shhh, your almost ready. You'll have more power than you have ever known and you will be perfect." He told her.
He caressed her face and she flinched at the contact. He only grinned madly at her fear.
Peter spun on his hands and kicked away two simulated oscorp agents. He righted himself, grabbed the last one by the neck and slammed him down.
'Too much holding back.' Venom told peter.
"You hold back too much, kid." Logan also said.
'see'
Peter rolled his eyes at this. "It isn't safe for me to use my full strength."
"It isn't safe for your enemy." Logan corrected.
"Its them or you. Holding back only makes it easier for them to kill you." Laura advised.
He knew this. He wasn't as naïve as they thought, but it wasn't exactly something he was used to. Though, he figured he would have to get used to it now. Oscorp was getting desperate lately, if they decided to send something like venom.
"Alright, that's enough for now. We'll continue tomorrow." Logan said and left the danger room.
Laura stayed behind as peter caught his breath. She had watched carefully and was mildly impressed. He was strong, fast, agile, and reacted to danger seemingly without seeing it. He was also very smart. All of this made for a dangerous combination. It unsettled her that logan would trust him so easily and annoyed her that she didn't know his motives.
Peter walked up to her. "If I'm going to be in oscorp's reach, I might as well go out in the city for awhile. Wanna come?"
She gave him a perplexed expression. "Why would I?"
He shrugged. "For fun."
She wanted to refuse. To tell him not to pester her with idiotic ideas. But she couldn't seem to help herself.
"Whatever."
He gave a wide grin.
They made their way into Manhattan and peter expertly led the way. He had just gotten them some hot dogs and they walked to central park.
Peter groaned in delight as he ate his. "God, I missed this."
Laura looked at her own skeptically. It certainly didn't smell edible, and it looked like it might-
"Its not going to bite back, you know. Well…it might, but that's rare." He told.
"That's not very reassuring."
He rolled his eyes. "Just try it. You'll like it, I promise."
Laura sighed and decided to bite the bullet…at least that's what she called this monstrosity. Once she did however, she wasn't able stop herself from vocalizing her approval.
He grinned. "Told you."
"Fine, I'll give you this one."
He gave a genuine smile at this. He hadn't done that in awhile. It felt good to have someone around again.
He stiffened as he felt a tingle. Grabbing laura, he jumped off the bench they were on, just as a police car landed on it.
'Hopefully a real fight' Venom thought to him.
He looked up and saw a man in some kind of flight suit with large wings. Several police cars were trying to follow him and he could see him carrying something. Probably stolen goods.
Peter was about to suggest leaving but couldn't bring himself to. The police were trying to chase him, but they couldn't fly. It wasn't his fight, but he had power. Did that make it his responsibility?
Peter sighed and came to a decision.
'Fight' Venom practically pleaded.
Before laura could say anything peter started walking towards them. He shifted into the black and white outfit, then began running. She could only stare as he took off like a bullet.
He didn't know what he was doing, but he was going to do it anyway. He ran at full speed and made it onto the road. People gawked as he easily passed their cars. They weren't used to the super people being down among them. Heroes only really handled the big stuff.
He began to pass several police cars and turned to run along the side of a building. As he ran, he got into range and jumped.
"Hey Polly!"
'Polly' turned to see a black and white figure land directly on his back. "Gah! What the hell are you doing?!"
Peter laughed. "I don't really know."
He punched the man and they rolled in the air. The man flew against a building to try and knock him off. Peter only crawled to his chest and sent several punches to his helmeted and masked face.
A particularly hard punch changed their course and they flew through a skylight and into a busy mall. They spun around erratically and peter groaned.
"Man, I just ate two."
"Get off me!" The man yelled.
Peter shifted his weight and they crashed to the floor. People gasped as they jumped away, watching from the sidelines. They slowly got to their feet and locked masked gazes.
'Get him!' Venom yelled in his mind.
Peter shot to his feet and charged. The man also got up and took off. Peter shot a web and hitched a ride. They flew up and peter pulled himself towards the man.
He turned and used his wings to cut the web lines. Peter shot another and yanked, sending himself forward and straight into the guy.
Peter punched his face and they spun. They man used some kind of gauntlet to return the punch. He flew off but caught himself and pulled back into him with a web.
They struggled as they flew higher. The man landed a swing with robotic talons and slashed peter across the face. He grunted but held on as they reached the clouds.
The man managed to shove him off. He shot a web but the man cut it. Peter began falling. The man followed to watch his prey go splat.
Peter panicked as the buildings came into view and shot a web. He gritted his teeth as the momentum strained his arms. Peter surprised himself and kept swinging along web lines. He had never really done this before, but it was fun.
He turned himself and swung into the man who was still following him. They collided and peter climbed onto his back.
"Whoa! That was fun, but I got a girl waiting on me and she ain't the kind you keep waiting!"
Peter decided to target the wings by smashing them and they spun wildly as they fell.
"You imbecile! You'll kill us both!" The man yelled.
Peter pretended to panic. "I will?!"
They hugged each other while falling. "Ahh!"
The ground drew closer and the guy was practically wetting himself. Peter decided that was enough and let go. He straitened himself downwards and began to shoot webs on either side of the man.
He slowed to a stop inches from the road and peter landed on him.
"Phew, thanks for the workout Polly, next time I'll bring crackers and we'll do it again."
The man growled. "I'm not a parrot, I'm the vult-"
Peter cut him off with a final punch. "Whatever, big bird."
Several police cars drove up and the officers gawked at peter. One gathered himself and pointed his gun.
"F-freeze! Get on the ground with-"
Peter pulled the gun away as he felt his anger boil over. "I put myself at risk to help you, and this is the thanks I get?!"
He crushed the gun and swung off to find laura. "Man, she is going to be pissed."
Norman grinned as he watched the recorded phone video of peter crashing into the mall.
"The prince has come back home, and soon I'll bring you back to your kingdom."
He laughed himself silly at the prospect of having his 'son' back.
Leave a review and let me know what I can do better.
