Chapter 6
They got to Stark Enterprises just in time to see the festivities start. Iron-Man already was heading to the north wing, and flew into a window. They all followed, all except Thing who preffered to take the fire escape. "Man, I never thought I'd be doing this. This is such a pain in the ass." They all grouped up in Stark's office and waited for him to return. He came in from a hidden wall, dressed in his buisness suit, and wheel chair. "Hey, I gotta look the part, and no body know's I can walk yet. And I preffer it to stay that way. I have the suit on auto pilot." Spidey looked at Thing who just shrugged, "So he's got a smart suit, what do you got?" Spidey tilted his head, "I got pockets, and a nifty spot for my watch."
They heard a crash, and the other heros hid. Stark opened the door, and rolled out. "Whats going on-" he was interrupted by War Machine flying into the door, and barely missing him. He looked on in horor. Venom had noticed him and grinned. Stark turned his wheel chair around and started to move away, but Venom was on top of him and tossed him out of it. "Uh-uh-ah! We need you to stay right there rich man! We got a proposition for you. As soon as we get rid of Mr. Trigger Happy over there."
War Machine got up, and fired a plasma blast at the symbiote behemoth. But the shot went astray as Venom leapt into the air, and tackled the grey warrior. "Whadaya say? Let's have a look at what's in our snack package?" Venom taunted. Stark caught eye contact with War Machine and he nodded slightly. War Machine looked back at Venom and pulled his legs to his chest, "How 'bout I just turn you into liquid alkaseltzer?" He fired again, but Venom was still faster and got behind him and slammed his massive fists onto War Machine's head. The grey warrior gave a slight thumbs up to Stark and then fell forward.
"Well, now that we aren't distracted..." Venom didn't finish, and picked up Stark and threw him into his desk chair. "Now, here's what we want. We know you've been doing symbiote tests, and we want whatever sample you have back! You stole it from us!" Stark looked at him, then smiled. "Well, you would be wrong. You see, I sold it months ago." Venom's eyes narrowed, and he picked up the desk and tossed it aside. "Look you bite sized snack! We want that sample now or we'll break your neck!" Stark looked at him calmly and then bowed his head. "Look, if I had it, don't you think I'd give it to you already? If you want to rip my head off, go ahead, you won't find it here." Venom grew furious and started to pick up things and toss it all over. He roared and then walked back towards Stark. "Look you sad excuse for a man! We're only gonna ask you one more time, or you'll start to lose limbs!!"
Thing started to move forward, but Spidey caught his attention, and whispered for him to stay there. He pulled back, and peered throught the curtains, trying to get a good look of what was going on. "Now look here! We're not fooling around with you meat sack! We can't belive you would sell a great specimine like that! We know your kind better than that Mr. Stark! Now give us the location of it, or we'll make you tell us the HARD way!!"
Spider-Man decided it was that time to come out,"Hey handsome. Such small world huh?" Spidey looked over to the drapes, and nodded to Thing. He nodded to Johnny Storm and Johnny nodded to punisher. "What!?!? How did you get out of our little trap Spider?!? We saw you get crushed!!" Spidey shrugged, "Well if you want it done yourself, you gotta be smarter than that book!" Venom roared and leapt at Parker, he dodged the attack, but was instantly face-to-face with Venom again. "Let's see if the Spider goes splat when flattened!" Venom swung his massive fist at Spider-Man, but he dodged, then kicked Venom in the face. Venom coverd his eyes, roared and then charged back again.
Punisher ran over to Stark and pulled him to the side of the room. "You need to help him." Stark said. Punisher looked at him, "Ok, but it's your feuneral." Stark looked at him with a sly grin, "I can take care of myself, just go." Punisher, patted him on his shoulder, then took off pulling one of his guns. He fired.
Venom roared, and turned back, grabbed the dart that was stuck in his side, and growled at Punisher. "Still don't get it do you? We won't be affected by your little poisons. Come on, let's get this over with 'Little Man'. Venom leapt at him, and Punisher shot several more into Venom's chest. The behemoth stopped in mid attack, and ripped a few of them out. "Your truth serum isn't gonna make us sleepy. Why don't you go say Hi to Parker?!?"
