Chapter 6

"YES! Finally!" Tony Stark exclaimed. He finally got rid of the Nyan cat virus. All the Avengers were sitting around in the lab.

"Finally is the right word, why did it take so long if that kid made it Stark?" Hawkeye retorted tending to one of his arrows with a bored look on his face. "The Genius must be losing his touch."

Tony frowned at him. "Its because this is a homemade virus that was design to stick around for a long time."

"It suits him. Annoying, loud and sticks around longer then it should!" Hawkeye remarked.

"Did it damage anything though?" Falcon asked looking through the computers databases.

"No, in fact nothing has been touched." Tony sighed sitting down.

"Tell that to my ears." The archer retorted. Black Widow walked past Hawkeye. She had a frown on her face. "What's with you?"

"Aren't we taking this 'Nyan Virus' a little too lightly? If that kind of tech got into the hands of Hydra's or any super villain with a vendetta against us, they could do some serious damage."

"Are we still talking about Spider-man?" Hawkeye retorted. "You heard Stark. It did nothing."

"More like it wasn't designed to do damage." Falcon corrected. "In fact I'm with Widow, the virus isn't perfect. Far from it but if Spider-man decided to work on it more it could become very dangerous."

"How so?" Captain America spoke up. He is standing in the doorway listening in on the conversation.

"Well think of it this way…"

The computer screen lit up. A diagram of Spidey's virus appeared in the form of Spider-man chibi icon. Below it is a Hydra icon and next to it is the Avenger's tower building.

"Viruses made from Hydra or other super villains have a similar kind of pattern." Falcon explains. "They go into the computers, hack through fire walls then collect and or destroy information."

The Hydra icon goes into the tower drawing and appears to cause havoc.

"But they are easier to get rid of too and clean from the system." An icon of Iron man appeared and blasted the Hydra icon away.

"However Spider-man's 'Nyan Virus' works differently." Tony said stepping in. "While Hydra's virus is a smash and grab Spidey's is more like an uninvited houseguest that won't go away."

Spidey's icon goes into the tower. Webbing is sprayed everywhere and even trapping the Iron man icon.

"It was designed to be hard to get rid of. It familerises itself with the technology and computer system itself and roots itself in there. Like a weed." Tony explains. The Spidey icon then goes to the hydra one. "However if you were to combined both types of viruses…"

The Spidey and Hyrda Icon combine to turn into a Venom icon.

"It could collect and destroy files for as long as it wants."

The venom icon goes into the tower. Web Iron man icon and causes havoc.

"That sounds bad." Thor frowned looking at the example. Midgard technology was usually nothing but babble to him but this sounded serious.

"That's because it is." Tony sighed. "I need to lecture the kid again on experimental technology. We already have the swarm to worry about."

"Spidey wouldn't do that." Hulk spoke up with his arms crossed.

Everyone looks to the big green hero. Hulk seems to stand by what he said.

"Yeah, there is no way he is capable of that much damage." Hawkeye shrugged. "He's just a snot nosed kid."

"That's not what I meant." Hulk asserted. "I mean he wouldn't allow Hydra to get their hands on it or attack Avenger's tower. He's more responsible then that."

"… Are we still talking about Spider-man?" Clint retorted.

Suddenly Norman Osborn's face appeared on the screen. He didn't look happy at all.

"Stark." He said in a curt voice.

"Oh look, I think the computers are still infected. Look at this ugly virus." Tony remarked looking up at Norman.

Norman frowned. Steve stepped forward and put a hand on Tony.

"Tony Behave." He said in a low voice. "Mr Osborn, if you're contacting us it must be important. I know how you and Tony can't be in a room together without it ending well."

"Right you are Captain America which is why I'm going to keep this brief." He said looking at Steve. He seemed a little more polite with the Captain. "My son and his friends were attacked the other day by a man in a suit of armour. I want to know if this armour belonged to you."

Picture of the Iron goblin appeared on screen. Falcon took a look.

"I wanted to know if it was one of your toys trying to kill me again." Norman remarked.

"They aren't toys." Tony growled.

"Then a cruel joke then." Norman hissed.

"I've never seen this armour before." Falcon remarked trying to cut through the tension. Clips of the events with Iron Goblin appeared. "This tech… its like a combination of Stark's and Oscorp's."

"I know that's why I was seeing if you didn't copy my tech Stark." Norman said bitterly.

"Hey I'm the one that came up with the flying suit first! You copied me!" Tony exclaimed. "And you went Goblin so I was told to hold on to the Iron Patriot armour while you were green."

"Which I never got back because you destroyed your own building." He remarked bitterly. "What kind of idiot destroys his own company building, headquarters and AI to stop a villain that you created only for that villain to come back a dozen times later?"

"Why you son of a-"

"Tony, stand down." Steve stood in front of him. "Mr Osborn, is there a point to this? Do you know what he was after?"

"His reasons are unclear, the Iron Goblin as he calls himself attempted to kidnap one of my son's friends and his associate wanted to send a word of warning to Spider-man." Norman explained.

"His associate?" Natasha repeated.

"A woman calling herself, Spider Girl." An image of Spider girl appeared on the screen riding the Goblin glider.

"ANOTHER ONE?!" Clint exclaimed loudly.

Squirrel girl, Dagger and Agent Venom, corners Spider-man. A hundred SHIELD agents are behind the Mandrill and ready to do anything he wishes. Spidey didn't know what to do. He didn't want to hurt his friends but did he even have a chance if he did?

A white blur suddenly jumped in front of Spider-man. It was White Tiger. She looked at him.

"T-Tiger?" He said nervous. Was she turned to? She looked away from him and straight at the women.

"Hands off the spider-dork." She said with bravado. White Tiger wasn't under the Mandrill's control. On her hip is the Tiger amulet.

"White Tiger!" Spider-man's cheer was cut off as Scarlet Spider jumps into the fray.

"Are you waiting for an invitation? Get out of here punk!" Scarlet retorted. He grabs Spider-man and runs past the brainwashed girls. Tiger follows him swiping at any furry creature that torpedo towards them.

"What are you doing here, punk?" Scarlet barked.

"I got an SOS from you guys!" He exclaimed.

"We didn't ask for your help." Tiger retorted. "We were going to fix this on our own."

Scarlet pulls Spider-man up into a vent. White Tiger jumped up into the vent gracefully and Scarlet closes it. The girls run past the vent. Confused that they lost them. Spidey sighs in relief. He looks up at Tiger.

"So how come your not under his control?" Spider-man asked.

"I'm not sure… but I think it's like the Tiger Amulet. I need to be in control." She explained.

"So in other words, her being such a control freak stopped her from ending up like the others." Scarlet Spider said bluntly.

"Do you want me to beat you up again?" Tiger growled.

"Guys, cool it." Spidey sat between them. "So really, you're controlling you're instincts and you had plenty of practice. So you're good."

White Tiger nods.

"Good. Where are the others?" Spider-man asked.

"This-" Scarlet was about to the point the way when light daggers rip through the vent. Causing it to fall apart and the heroes fall to the ground. They groan in pain and look up to see Dagger stand over them.

Scarlet growled and unsheathed his spikes. Spider-man signaled to him to go easy on her. Don't kill. White Tiger crouched ready to fight. Dagger however suddenly falls to the ground. Behind Dagger was a person in a bright yellow Hazmat suit. There was a dark visor on it making it hard to see who was inside. There was a long moment of silence.

"… um…. Who are you?" White Tiger asked confused.

"Ma fughbadu…" The voice was almost completely muffled.

"…What?" Spider-man blinked.

"Ma spughbadu!" The person exclaimed slightly louder.

"We can't hear you!" Scarlet snapped.

The person made a huff noise and took off the head part of the Hazmat suit. The true identity of that stranger is Spider Girl.

"I said, its me! Spider Girl!" She chirped.

"You! What are you doing here?!" Spider-man yelled, shocked and confused.

"To save your butts, duh." She shrugged as if it was obvious.

"Yeah right, I'm not falling for any tricks." Spider-man said glaring at her. "Why aren't you under the Mandrill's control?"

"Oh, easy!" She chirped. "Mandrill uses Pheromones to turn ladies brains into mindless goop. So I borrowed one of SHIELD's Hazmat suits. It keeps out his cooties."

"Pheromones." Spider-man corrected.

"Same thing." Spider Girl waved off.

"Wait, if that's true… do think we might be able to free Dagger from his control?" White Tiger asked.

"If we left her alone it to burn out… yeah!" Spider-man exclaimed.

Scarlet Spider walked over to Dagger and picked her up. "To think, thanks to you're fan girl we might win this." Scarlet said in a snarky tone.

"Hey, I am not a Spider-man fan girl!" Spider Girl exclaimed in dramatic way. "I am you're fan girl." She said poking Scarlet and walking ahead.

The three looked at her in shock.

"… You're kidding right?" White Tiger asked.

"Nope!" She chirped. "Scarlet Spider is my all time favourite hero."

"… You're not mixing me up with another Scarlet Spider… maybe from the one in you're messed up head?" Scarlet asked.

"Nope, dark, mysterious with a heart of gold hidden under all of that edge~" Spider Girl said poking Scarlet's chest.

"… Another word and I will hurt you." He growled.

"That's the spirit-" Spider Girl suddenly froze and looked down the corridor. She stared at the space intensely.

"What are you-"

"Shh!" Spider Girl shushed watching the space. Shadows from above watched them. Moving like a tiger. Glowing green eyes appeared above them. She suddenly turned to him. "Get out of the way!"

"What are you-WOAH!" Spider-man felt his spider sense go off like a bomb.

Spider Girl suddenly pushed Spider-man away. Something giant and white landed between them. It was Kraven wearing the Tiger Amulet. He'd lost control to the animal side. And yet White Tiger still had her Tiger Amulet sitting on her hip.

"What?! Two Tiger Amulets!" White Tiger exclaimed in shock. She looked down at her one and it still was there. How was this possible?

"Looks like this kitty has something that doesn't belong to him." Spider Girl said glaring at Kraven. She takes a few steps closer. "I'd like it back."

"Are you crazy?!" Spider-man barked pulling her back. "He will turn you into mince meat!"

"Oh he can try." Spider Girl snarled. "You three just get to safety."

"I don't get you! What do you want?! Why are you threatening the Osborns one moment! And tell me us to get to safety the next?!" Spider-man exclaimed.

"I wasn't threatening them! I just gave them a surprise visit with my friend. And…" Her voice became lower. She seemed a little conflicted. "That I don't even know if you should know."

"What the heck does that mean?!" Spider-man exclaimed in a high-pitched voice.

Tiger Kraven roared at them. As if tell them to be silent. He ran towards them and was about to pounce on them. When suddenly…

"Ki-yah!" Iron Fist charged at Kraven and punched him with his glowing Iron fist; Power Man, who was behind him followed up the punch with another devastating blow to the face.

"Get a move on guys!" Power Man exclaimed. The three follow Power Man and Iron fist around a few turns to left then right then straight into the dorms where all the male agents an young heroes were hiding.

All the other young heroes gathered around the new comers. Cloak looked injured. His cloak had holes burned into it. Most likely from Dagger. His eyes light up when he sees the unconscious Dagger.

"Is she okay?!" He exclaimed.

"She will be." White Tiger provided. White Tiger and Spider Girl take Dagger to a corner in the room. They put her in a HAZMAT suit.

"What are you doing here?" Power Man asked firmly.

"Someone sent him an SOS so he appeared." Scarlet provided.

"But we didn't send the SOS to you, we sent it to Agent Venom, Iron Spider and Kid Arachnid." Power man said frowning.

"Where are they?" Iron Fist asked.

"I don't know the status of Kid and Iron but Agent Venom has been compromised." Spidey explained. "He's under the Mandrill's control."

"But how? Thy Agent of Venom is a man?" Titon asked.

"Isn't it obvious?" Spider Girl suddenly spoke up. The guys look at her with confused looks. "The Symbiote is a girl."

"… Symbiotes have genders?" Spidey had a completely puzzled look.

"But I just thought they just a… just a thing." Power Man admitted shocked. "Just… goop."

"Well… it would explain some of its protective energies I felt from it to Agent Venom…" Iron fist said thinking. "… And how it felt almost… motherly…"

"Well it is female just not in the typical way humans are. Its just a few genes that determine whether it could create more symbiotes own its or not. A carrier. Iron Goblin knows more then me." Spider Girl shrugged walking closer to them.

"You seem to know too much already." Spidey said frowning.

"Who are you exactly?" Power man asked.

"I am Spider Girl. But Spidey should already know that." She said looking at Spider-man "You did of course get my message."

"Yeah, Parker told me." He said glaring at her.

"Hm… so he did." She said feigning innocence. "Tell him I said thanks and that HE should not be worried about me or my friend just focus on his own. And of course watch out for the purple man."

Spider-man, Power man and White Tiger glare at Spider Girl. It sounded like if she knew she was toying with them. Iron Fist just stared at her. As if he was trying to read her.

"But we are getting off track here. You just do you're thing and stop Mandrill." Spider Girl asked putting on the HAZMAT suit again. "I on the other will take care of the mean kitty."

"Well if you're helping take Ka'Zar, Zabu and White Tiger with you." Spider-man suggested. He may not like her but he isn't letting her become mincemeat. That and he could have some eyes on this mysterious spider.

"I don't need help." Spider Girl said bitterly. The way she said that was very familiar to Spider-man. "You guys will hold me back."

"Hold you back?!" White Tiger scoffed.

"We would do no such thing." Ka' Zar said frowning. Zabu growled.

"Yeah, don't take to heart Tigers~" Spider Girl chirped. She walked up to the vents. "I'm just more of a solo-act."

She put the head part on for the HAZAMAT suit and disappeared into the vent.

"… What's her problem?" One of the agents said. Iron Fist just kept staring at where Spider Girl disappeared into the vent.

"Why didn't you let them help you?!" Normie's voice exclaimed on Spider Girl's com.

Spider Girl is crawling through the vents, all alone. She goes deeper and deeper into the academy quietly.

"I don't need them Normie. I'm fine on my own." Lady pushed taking a right turn.

"It that's the case I will go up and help you." Normie said.

"No. You need to stay with the TASD, it's the only thing that stops Artie from using his powers." Spider Girl said firmly. "I will be fine. If I took them with me that would be putting them in danger anyway."

"I still think you should have brought them with you." Normie sighed.

"Well its just not going to happen." She said scrunching her fist. "I'm not going to let anyone get hurt again…"

Spider Girl froze. Her spider sense went off. It was Kraven. A white-clawed hand bursts through the vent. Spider girl yelps and tries to crawl faster only for her spider sense to scream at her to stop. She froze only for the vent to explode and collapse. Spider Girl shrieked. Tiger Kraven pulls her out of the rubble, he held her by her neck. He pulled the HAZMAT head piece off of her.

"Found you." Kang's voice. He stood behind the wild Kraven, holding his silver and gold staff. Next to him the Mandrill stood with his army of women. Two green large bubbles contained an unconscious Kid Arachnid and Iron Spider.

"I thought I already took care of you and you're team." He remarked.

"There is no team… it's just me." Spider Girl remarked coughing.

"All alone huh? What about you're Goblin friend?" Kang said frowning.

"CAFF… not…. Coming…" Her vision became blurry.

Kang stared at her and snapped his fingers. Kraven let go of her and she fell to knees. Spider Girl coughed and spluttered. Her vision cleared.

"So the little spider is all alone. How cute." He laughed. "And betting that you're after the Tiger Amulet."

"… It doesn't belong to you." She said slowly standing. "You stole it from him… give it back."

"Venom! Restrain her!" Mandrill barked. Agent Venom grabbed Spider Girl's arms and pulled them behind her back.

"Sorry." Agent Venom said in a low voice. "I don't have any control."

"I'm sure she's going to feel bad after this." Spider Girl sighed with sympathy. Agent Venom gave her a confused look.

"This childish attempt to stop me is coming to end Spider Girl. I may not be able to use my powers but he can." Kang said smirking under his mask.

Mandrill walked closer to Spider Girl. Spider Girl hissed. She looked away and tried to hold her breath. Mandrill grabbed her chin and forced her to look up at him.

"Just relax and listen to me. You can't hope to resist me this close." He said using his powers on her.

Spider Girl trembles like a leaf resisting. She could feel her mind being invaded by the urge to obey. Do what ever he said.

"… no." She said weakly.

A red and blue flash suddenly kicked Mandrill to the ground. Spider-man.

"Hey, girls tend not to like it when you act like a creep!" He joked.

"True story." White Tiger said jumping out of the vent.

She kicked Agent Venom to the side. Freeing Spider Girl from his grasp. She fell to her knees. She looked up shocked at them. A black ball of spinning fabric appeared above them. Cloak teleported into the room and heroes poured out of the void within him. Spider Girl watched them fight the women under the Mandrill's control.

Kang snarls. "Kraven! Take them down!"

"New Warriors! Attack!" Spider-man ordered.
