Chapter 11
-
They put their what in your where?
New YorkHe's done it now, Hawk thought to himself as he looked over the wreckage of the restaurant he tried to stop Fisk's men from doing things to. He had however only escalated it, they had retaliated, and they trashed the restaurant. The tables, food, shelves, everything had been thrown around.
"How could they do this? We can't afford to fix this." The owner groaned. Though he seemed like a strong willed man he was on the verge of tears, his life's work flushed down the toilet.
"Don't worry I'll pay for all of this." Hawk said as he continued to feel the anger boiling up in him. It was his fault for not going to Fisk first. "I'll take care of it this time. Make sure it NEVER occurs again." Hawk said as he stepped out of the kitchen.
"Don't bother." The owner said in vein for Hawk was already in the sky towards Fisk Tower.
Hawk was on his way to take his quarrel up with Fisk himself. He would have to be fast and effective, especially since Fury was currently meeting with Jack about some 'secret' business and since Fisk is the "alleged" Kingpin of Crime.
Night had long since fallen, the night sky was a little hard to navigate in but he knew the way by heart. He continued to soar until he found his way to the top. Fisk had recently made a glass room for "relaxing" on the top floor. Hawk quickly crashed through the glass.
He dispatched of the guards quickly by breaking their necks. "Fisk!" He called out. He continued till he found the rotund man in a hot tub, a girl on each side. "Nice call girls."
"Ah Hawk to what do I owe this lovely late night visit?" Fisk asked as he sipped some champagne.
"You know damn well!" Hawk replied. Two guards tried to grab his arms but Hawk quickly sent his fists far enough behind them to hit them and knock them out.
"Oh the restaurant. Lovely place. Best Carne Asada-" Fisk replied but was quickly cut short.
"Shut up. You did it and now your going to pay."
Fisk just gave a hearty laugh. "You can't touch me, you have no proof." He replied as he smiled cockily and sipped his champagne.
Hawk jumped into the hot tub and with relative ease picked up the fat man by his skin neck and carried him out of the water, all the while staring into the man's eyes. "You know I have the alien as a part of me." Hawk said as he let the symbiote cover his face. "And we don't like you." They hissed.
"Just what are you doing? Unhand me!" Fisk demanded as he struggled.
Hawk used the alien costumes force to hold the man in his face. He slowly approached the hole in the glass he had entered. He held out the large man's body out of the window into the air below his nakedness feeling the cold night air. "The costume has its weaknesses and I feel its strength declining." Hawk said as the costumes face sank back into the rest of the body and Hawk lowered the body of Fisk.
"You wouldn't dare drop me. You'll be killed easily. They will come for you, my men won't let you leave this place alive."
Hawk smiled sadistically. The two girls from the hot tub approached the back of the man, they raised the empty champagne bottles into the air above their heads as they prepared to bring them down on Hawk's head. Once they were close enough the symbiote suit released tentacles from Hawk's back and wrapped the girl's bodies and pushed them out the window and held them next to Fisk.
"LEAVE THEM ALONE! I DON'T CARE ABOUT YOUR PROTECTION MONEY OR IF THEIR DAUGHTER IS A MUTANT! YOU WILL LEAVE THEM ALONE OR YOU WILL FACE A GRUESOME DEATH!" Hawk yelled sadistically his voice taking a more violent tone, the 'mask' of his suit once again covering his face. "We want to hear you agree."
"You will die here! You do know that!"
"Then so will you." Hawk said as he released his grip slightly, the body of Fisk sinking lower.
"Fine! Your little restaurant is safe." Fisk replied. "Just put me back in."
Hawk thought about it and brought the women back in and set them down. He however decided to let Fisk fall. As he watched the large man's body quickly fall his human side returned. No, what have I done? Hawk had actually let the symbiote control him. He jumped out the window in a swan dive and a small tentacle shot out of his costume and grabbed onto a support pillar in the building as he quickly found himself catching up to Fisk's large body.
Mutant Apartment Complex
The sun had just risen its light reflecting off the many windowed building of New York. Outside the apartment building occupied by the members of FOME a boy walked up to the building towards the Underground Café. He carried a guitar case, his long blonde hair fell onto his shoulders, and he was easily the size of a large adult. His black t-shirt and black cut offs swayed slightly in the morning breeze. He leaned against the glass of the café for a moment as he allowed himself to think.
The teen set his guitar case down and looked around as the streets of New York began to come alive, the streets filled with cars and the sidewalks with people. This place was the place where mutants would come as alternatives to Xavier's place and since they were the only two openly mutant accepting places to stay he figured this was a good a place as any to play his guitar. Especially if she came by.
She of course was Amara Aquilla or as her codename said, Magma. He took out the guitar and strummed it a few times. He quickly tuned the guitar and began to play a song. He paused for a moment as the words to the song returned to him. He continued to play the guitar before finally opening his mouth to sing. He became drenched in water and looked up to see one of the mutants, his brown hair messy and glaring with green eyes.
"Some of us like to sleep in! Don't make me jump all the way down there and kick your ass guitar boy! GET A JOB!" With that person's head went back into the window leaving a bucket that was once full of water on the windowsill.
New York
On the streets of New York the busy people rushed by one another none paying any attention to the others. They bump into each other and continue on. In the center of all these people a hooded figure walks through bumping into each person seemingly on purpose. After it bumps into each person the people scream as they notice something is different. Each of their faces changes and become considerably ugly. Bumps, scales, broken skin appear on each of their faces. The figures hood blows in the wind and it reveals a smile as the figure changes each person into disfigured people.
Somewhere over the U.S.
Jack sighed as he looked out the window of the ever-mobile base of SHIELD. The flying base was quickly becoming retired for STRYKE, SHIELD was going to take a former hotel in New York and drastically change it. Fury had called him in after their meeting last night and he had been in the mans office all night.
The room door slid open and Fury walked in. Jack looked towards the one eyed man. "How did you get them to give you a window?"
Fury smiled. "They don't know I have it yet. My job has its perks." Fury replied with a smirk. He pulled out a cigar and lit it. "I'm sure your wondering why I asked you here?" Fury took a seat at his desk.
"Asked me here? Your men dragged me here. But yeah I was wondering why."
Fury smiled then put his hands behind his head. "Well Jack, I'm aware of your team growing in their ranks. And considering you are called the Friends Of Mutants Everywhere, why not attach SHIELD to the title."
"You want my team to become your mutant Avengers?" Jack asked skeptically as he raised his eyebrow.
"It's Ultimates now and sort of. You see what better way to boost the nations opinions of mutants then having them be a SHIELD team."
"Your grammar sucks Fury."
Mutant Apartments
Hawk let out another frustrated growl. He had been training each of the mutants and he felt them take a few years off his life span. Griffin and Paul were sparring, Paul's stray blasts ending up all over the place, Zack was running around in his half-rhinoceros form, which he dubbed Berserker ripping off one of Xavier's children, while St. John tried to burn the shape shifter, Bailey was in her liquid form soaring through the air while Ceada tried to hit her with some blasts. Chance was down in the lab; Jack was off somewhere, Kara, Jessica, Katie and Lissa all went out for the day leaving Hawk with the kids.
"DUDE NOT COOL! THAT WAS MY TAIL!" Shift changed to his human form and tackled Pyro to the ground and put him in a headlock. "Tell everyone you're my bitch and I'm your daddy! DO IT!"
"No way mate! Everyone knows you're the bitch!" Pyro replied as he struggled under Shift's ever increasing muscles. "Stop growing the muscles you cheater! I'll use my powers!"
Hawk pulled the two apart and held them off the ground. "Both of you! Hit the showers!" He growled leaving no room for argument, or so he hoped.
"But bossman number two I'm not really a 'bather' and I'm letting the scent of Zack soak in. The ladies love…" Hawk's eyes turned red as his symbiote costume took control. Shift quickly shrank in size and escaped the older man's grasp.
Hawk's attention turned to Pyro. "I love showers, water makes me feel…comfy?" Pyro quickly ran into the elevator.
The Dome's cover opened up and Hawk sprouted his symbiote wings and flew off into the air. The remaining mutants gathered around the opened practice arena.
"I didn't know that opened." Paul said as he watched their teacher leave.
"Should we close it?" Ceada asked.
Jessica was walking with Katie taking her on a shopping spree; she had been gone for so long she knew this would make it up. She could bond with Katie and get some things for herself as well. They were currently walking into a costume shop. Katie said it had just opened and was excited so Jessica figured they'd give it a shot. The one thing she couldn't shake was the feeling she was being watched.
"You know they say the devil outfit is a turn on for guys." Katie replied as she held the costume up to Jessica's body.
"Excuse me? You are much too young to be thinking things as that." Jessica replied as she brushed the costume away.
"I'm fifteen!" Katie replied and gave a small pout.
"My point exactly." Jessica looked at the group of people and saw a boy carry a few things into the back, his skin a sickly green. Her heart went out to him as it reminded her of Baltimore?
"You know these costumes are a jip. I could make them for free." A voice said with a scoff. Jessica turned to see Zack holding a wolf-man mask. "I mean really does this look like the wolf man to you?"
"What are you doing here?" She asked, her attitude coming off a bit harsher then she wanted.
Zack shrugged. "Hawk went all psycho and his eyes red, and that costume came on. It was crazy scared me and that ain't an easy task." Zack answered as he grabbed a Frankenstein mask and put it on. His whole body grew, his shoulder became more broad, his skin green. "I hate it when that happens."
"Hey Zack." Katie tapped the shape shifters arm. Zack turned to see her mask and gave a scream. "I thought you said it was hard to scare you." She said between giggles.
Zack reverted to normal and put his hand over his heart. "Well…I uh. I'm hungry. You guys want to get some food?"
"Chocolate!" Katie yelled as she dropped the mask and made her way out of the store.
"Don't worry we'll settle for sushi." Jessica replied as she slowly walked out of the store.
"Ah god. I have to got find a new group of people. Maybe I should join the lesbian team." Zack walked out the store as he stared off into space and walked into the glass wall then through the door.
As Zack followed behind Jessica and Katie to give them some distance and not be pulled into the "girl talk". He scanned the people around him, and none seemed to pay much attention but he still felt like someone was staring at the back of his head but as he looked forward no one was there and he quickly spun around, only to find no one there again. He tried smelling the air and only got a small scent that smelled like sewage.
The girls walked into the sushi restaurant and Zack quickly turned the block and came back around the corner running as fast as he could and turned into the alley and jumped forward tackling something to the ground. He lifted it up, which wasn't easy, and slammed it against the wall.
The person was covered in a black robe, its hood covering the face. Zack slammed him against the wall again the hood fell off and revealed several scars on the right side of his face. "Why are you stalking them?" Zack asked. The person didn't answer. "Listen buddy, I know stalking. I did it all the time, one of the advantages of being a mutant is I can hide easily, so I know stalking when I see it. Who are you!"
The scarred mutant was about to respond when someone began to call out for Zack. "Zack!" Zack's attention was diverted as he looked towards the street where Katie stood in the middle of street; the scarred mutants gaze to shift towards Katie.
A loud honk blasted and soon a bus was on a collision course for Katie. "NO!" screamed the scarred mutant as he tried to break free of Zack's grasp. As the bus nears Katie she's pulled back before the bus hit her.
"You didn't let me protect her!" The scarred mutant growled he grabbed a hold of Zack's wrists, "My name's Masque."
Zack felt his face change, but kept his smile hidden, he dropped to the ground and began to cry. "What have you done? I'm ugly! UGLY!" He changed his face back, which left him pretty drained and stood back on his feet. "PSYCHE!" He gave a small punch into Masque's stomach. "The hell did you mean by saying I didn't let you protect her?"
While Zack questioned Masque he failed to notice a tan skinned man appear from the brick wall behind him. His neck was longer then a normal humans, his brown hair was tied into a ponytail, his nose was part of his face his facial hair seemed well kept. The man stroked his small beard and quickly ran to the back of the alley and opened a sewer cover a large lizard creature stepped out.
"You should let me go now. Or things could get ugly." Masque said tauntingly, and a wicked smile spread on his lips.
"Uglier than you? Wow okay I'm scared now." Zack replied as he made his body shake. He felt a large hand on his shoulder and turned to see a large green skin lizard and a strange man behind it. "Crap." He muttered as the lizard creature grabbed Zack and threw him out of the alley into the street.
"Thanks Façade." Masque said as he rubbed his neck. "I could have handled it on my own."
The man named Façade smiled. "I'm sure you could have Masque but young Scaleface and I were worried that maybe your obsession would possibly destroy you."
Masque pulled the hood over his face again covering his scars. "It's NOT an obsession!" Masque yelled.
"My friend, why not just try talking to her? Certainly you wouldn't acquire so many…friends in that process." Façade suggested.
"A pretty girl like her could never like me." Masque replied in a half infuriated and half annoyed tone. "Even if she was nice to me once." He said solemnly and hung his head low. With that Masque grabbed one of the ladders and climbed to the top of the building.
"Hurry, we should get back." Façade said to Scaleface. The large reptile beast inhaled a gust of air and sent a large blast of fire at the shape shifter it had just thrown out of the alley.
Zack stood up and dusted himself off then turned his attention to the alley where he watched as the large lizard's chest seemingly filled with air. "Shit." He groaned. As fire came towards him he felt himself hit the ground a few feet away. HE looked up and watched as Bailey changed from her liquid form and her body reshaped.
Zack looked into her green eyes and smiled. "Hi."
"I saved your life." She stated as she poked him in the chest and smiled. "You owe me."
"Deal." A loud honk of a car snapped the two out of the moment and they both stood up. "Damn cars I wanted to roll around on the ground some more." A few civilians stopped in their busy schedule to look at the commotion, however more had plans of continuing their movements. Bailey began to chew on her lip as she held onto Zack's arm and looked up at him.
"Zack! Are you alright?" Katie asked as she ran across the street narrowly avoiding a taxi. "What happened?"
Zack paused for a moment as he recalled what had happened. "Uh…I was touching myself in the alley and Bailey came along…and well I think I just answered the question with my wording." Zack finished, deciding it was best to not tell about Masque and with the explanation Katie would never ask him things again. Two birds with one stone, He thought with a smile.
"Too much information." Katie grumbled.
Jessica followed suit and stood next to Katie, "You have an affinity for cars trying to hit you, and you know that." Jessica quipped as she caught her breath, two instances where Katie nearly getting killed by a vehicle was enough for her.
The light from the sun began to dampen and darkness began to spread through the streets of New York. Every person brought his or her gazes upward as the sun became eclipsed.
"Katie you and Jessica should get back to the apartments." Zack said as he continued to look at the darkened sun.
"Zack what about us?" Bailey asked as she turned him to look at her.
"Oh I think you know." Zack replied as he put his arms around her and pulled her close. "Wink, wink, nudge, nudge."
"Oh no, why whatever do you mean?" Bailey asked playing coy. She felt herself pulled from Zack's grip and swung through the air.
"It's okay, you're safe now." Spoke the person that had plucked her from the streets. She looked to see someone dressed in a red and blue suit with a small spider on his chest.
"Hey get your own redhead!" Zack switched forms to Cyclone and flew off after the man who was swinging away on webs. "Webs? This day just keeps getting weirder and weirder."
"Come on Katie let's go." Jessica said grabbing Katie's hand. As the two turned a trio of pink creatures stopped them.
The creatures were pink, for legs were nonexistent for their bottom halves were just blobs, their torsos were muscular, their arms stretched into clawed hands, their faces were a single circle with large white eyes and gnashing black teeth. Their pink color swirled and traces of black became mixed with the pink.
SHIELD
Inside the hovering SHIELD Base Jack had just subdued to agreeing with Fury's terms of his team. Jack would still be in charge, but in the event of his disappearance his team would become property of SHIELD. As Jack finally finished initialing his real name the door to Fury's office burst open.
"Sir! Sorry to disturb you but we have a situation in New York." The man said as he quickly brought in a laptop and laid it on Fury's desk.
Fury quickly turned it on and looked at the screen. "That's impossible. How did this happen!"
"Well Colonel sir, you see well uh…we don't know…"
Jack turned the laptop so he could view it and looked at the screen in horror. He turned his attention to Fury's window and watched as something exploded in the city below. "Fury! Let me down there!"
"I can't do that Jack." Fury said as he chewed angrily at the back of his cigar. "This is the perfect opportunity to put SHIELD's newest mutant team to the test." Fury replied as he looked out of his office window.
"That's insane! They could die!"
"They don't kill. At worst your kids would just become hosts."
Rooftops of New York
A seemingly random rooftop two figures stand in the newly darkened sky, one is the psychotic serial killer Cletus Cassidy and his symbiote Carnage, the other is the former Daily Bugle employee Eddie Brock AKA Venom. As the two continue to stand on the rooftop neither speak until a third joins them.
Hawk had given in to his symbiote side and let it take control and now it had dragged him, in the darkness, to a rooftop of New York. Once he landed he watched in shock, as he looked at the other two on the rooftop. One was covered in a red and black swirling costume; his white eyes were completely illuminated in the darkness. The other was covered in black with a large symbol on his chest; his eyes too were illuminated in the darkness.
"See we told you he would come, father." Said the red one.
"Cassidy we told you to not call me that!" The one in black replied his eyes turning to a glare.
"Why have you called me here?" Hawk asked, though he did not ask it in fact, he didn't even think it. The symbiote is talking?
"Ooh it talks. We're impressed." The who had been called Cassidy replied. "We have matters to do discuss with you. You are like us, and we like you. Join us in the war and we will take over the world!" Cassidy then let out a psychotic laugh that chilled Hawk to his bones.
"Or you could join us in the fight so we can stop Cassidy without the help of the Spider." The other one in black offered.
"Aw come on Venom, where's the old 'I hate humans' spirit?" Cassidy asked as he faced the other symbiote.
"Silence! You have no right to try and be our friend. We hate you for what you did to HER." Venom replied.
Hawk had no idea what to do, or if he even had a choice in the matter. He did know that his insides no longer felt like he was in a tug of war. He contemplated which to join and he knew that he should join the one in black; this "Venom" for his was not about world domination. The other side was this "Cassidy" his merging with the symbiote was tempting but the way they both referred to themselves as we made Hawk uneasy.
"BONZAI!" In a flash a blur of red and blue kicked Venom in the chest sending him across the rooftop. "I missed you Brock, you never returned my calls or emails. I'm beginning to not like me."
"Not now Spider. Not now!" Venom replied as he returned to his feet.
Mutant Apartments-Lab
In the lab area St. John sat on a chair next to the still unconscious body of Holly Marco. She was now in a small hospital gown after she had arrived a few of the girls slipped her into it and since John had tried to burn her dress and succeeded. He however hadn't been able to pull himself away from the unconscious girl; he had been here ever since he and Zack were sent away from their training session.
The door in the medical bay slid open and Chance came running in. "PYRO!" he yelled causing the Australian mutant to fall out his chair and his head on the metal bed as he fell to the floor. Chance quickly ran over to him and helped him up. "Sorry."
"It's quite alright mate. What do you need?" John asked as he rubbed his head.
"There's a situation outside. Haven't you been looking out the window?"
"Yeah mate its dark. That's why we call it night. The sun goes down…"
Chance gave a low grumble and led him over to the window. "It's not even six yet. The sun should still be up. It's been eclipsed and strange creatures have been attacking the city. We think its symbiotes but they aren't like Hawk. It's like the symbiotes don't need hosts any longer." Chance explained as he grabbed his suit from one of the closets and slide it on and placed the Shocker's former gauntlets and placed them over his hands.
"Oh right mate…I'm in." John said as he turned his attention back to Holly.
"Good." Chance replied as he passed the suit and flamethrower tanks to Pyro.
There was a groan and both teens looked to see the body of Holly Marco waking up. The now conscious girl took in her new surroundings and paranoia hit. "Where am I?" She asked to no one in particular. She saw two teenagers near her and she became scared. "Who are you?" She felt a cold shiver and noticed she was not wearing any of her normal clothes. "Where are my clothes?" Her voice quickly turned to fear and two zombies rose near her, does she need dead bodies or can they just appear? Freaked out enough for you?
Griffin had left Paul to gather up Ceada. Griffin had been briefed on the enemy since it was similar to that of Hawk, so he knew what he needed to do. He was going to try and hail the Shriekers for some help, they may have been enemies but now they both had a similar enemies. Even the X-Men and the Brotherhood and Acolytes have worked together at least once.
Griffin stepped outside the café into the chaotic streets in front of him. The symbiote blob like creatures were chasing down civilians, though mostly in vain, the one thing he couldn't see were SHIELD officers helping. Sound and Fire, the words that Jack had told him repeated in his head.
There was a girlish scream in the distance causing Griffin to activate his force fields and quickly spun around to face the scream. In front of him about 50 yards a large muscular symbiote a complete human form. As it turned to him its fists changed their shape to a pair of black boxing gloves.
"Oh bring it on." The symbiote quickly closed the distance between itself and the mutant within seconds. It gnashed with its teeth as large lines of saliva dribbled down its chin. Griffin quickly punches its jaw. "You keep the mouth closed!"
The symbiotes jaw became unhinged but the creature seemed unaffected. It quickly tried punching Griffin with its fist but he nimbly ducked and sent his own fist into its chest. The creature stumbled back, then retaliated by tackling Griffin causing the mutant to land on his back while the creature held him down with its body weight. Its dangling jaw snapped back into place and the alien opened its mouth weight wide preparing to eat the mutant it had held under it.
Griffin heard a large booming sound then the symbiote, that was prepared to swallow him whole, went flying. The creature clenched its head in pain and in mere seconds all that was left was an unconscious human. Griffin turned to the café and saw long blonde haired teen standing next to a guitar case.
"You did that?" Griffin asked as he approached the young man.
"Yeah, you're a mutant too so don't get all apprehensive."
"What? No. Sound and fire are their weaknesses. How'd you like to fight for mutants everywhere?" Griffin replied, God I sound like a Jack, he thought and decided he wouldn't want to recruit any others. But they really needed this kid.
"I don't know…" the teen replied. He would have rather joined the X-Men but that probably wasn't possible.
"Great!" Griffin said as he led the teen into the café. "So it's settled. You'll join. What's your name anyway?"
"A-Alex Rogers. Hey wait I didn't say I'd join!"
Paul knocked on Ceada's door. "Ceada come on! We got to go now."
The door opened and Ceada stood in full battle uniform. "Halcyon reporting for duty." She greeted as she gave a mock salute.
"Wow you work fast."
"Yeah the world needs saving and we need to do the saving, so lets go!" Before Paul could respond he was pulled along with the young mutant pulled Paul along with her to the ground floor.
Katie let out a loud shriek as the creatures surrounded her. Jessica tried to jump in front of her but the creatures swatted her away. Jessica tumbled and smacked her head on the gutter of the street. She managed to fight the pain long enough to raise to her feet, but when she got up Katie was gone and the creatures were advancing on her. Fear set in at that moment, not because of the enemies that would surely kill her but that Katie was missing.
One creature fell to the ground seemingly unconscious, the other two collided with each other with great force causing them to get up and stumble away. The female frame of the FOME member, Force, stood in the place of the fallen creature.
"Hey Jessica." Force said with a smirk. She brought her foot down onto the "skull" of the creature causing pink liquid to ooze out. "Think it tastes like bubble gum?"
"Katie, did you see her?" Jessica asked frantically as she began to search for the young girl. She continued to call out Katie's name, each time her voice trembling.
"Hey I'm sure she's fine Jessica." Force said trying to comfort the woman. "I mean if they had taken her she'd be dead or…" Jessica was paying no attention but continued her search.
Kara walked up the street with her red dress and stopped Jessica with her powers, and manipulated the woman into turning on her heel and walking towards the Mutant Apartments. "I'll take her to the apartments, her place would probably be unsafe." Kara walked with the mind controlled Jessica. "Coming with?"
Force looked to a group of teenagers screaming. "No," she replied with a shake of her head. "I want to see if they all leak from their brains." Jessica took off after the mysterious enemy.
"Hawk this better not be your doing." Kara said to herself as she walked with Jessica back to the apartments.
Paul or Lightning, which he went by when in costume, zapped another symbiote, the body began to sizzle and spark. "Gotcha!" he turned around and sent a bolt of lightning at another one. "Thirty-six!" he zapped another and continued his count.
He had lost track of the others a while ago and made his way farther away from the apartments and the Underground café. Then he fell to the ground. One of the symbiotes he had missed had tackled him to the ground and soon many other began to pile on top of him.
He focused and unleashed a large blast that sent each body soaring in different directions, landing into the sides of buildings, in the gutters, through windows, crashing into street signs.
"Aw come on is that it?" he asked in mock sadness as he looked at the group of sizzling purple creatures. A sudden thought crossed his mind. "Hope none of you were humans before…" he quickly ran off in another direction. He stretched out his arms sending large electric swords to knock down any symbiotes in his way.
On a rooftop of a random building in New York City Spider-Man sets Bailey down on the rooftop. "No need to thank me."
"Who the fuck would thank you, you bastard!" Bailey replied rather annoyed.
"No really, it was my pleasure." Spider-Man replied ignoring her reply. "Now I'm sorry but your friendly neighborhood Spider-Man must be leaving. I've got a date to attend to." Spider-Man spun a web and swung off of the rooftop landing a few rooftops away.
"Asshole." Bailey grumbled as she folded her arms across her chest. She turned and her frown quickly changed to a small smile as she watched Zack land in front of her.
"Where is he? I'll kick his ass. I was going to get some!" Zack asked as he put his arms on Baileys arms.
Bailey again chewed on her bottom lip. "Who says you aren't going to get some now?" Bailey asked as she pulled Zack down to her height. Their lips inched closer to each other's until a shout rang out. "BONZAI!" the battle cry of Spider-Man filled the streets of New York.
"Ooh comes on candy pants! It's our first chance at a real battle instead of those lesbians." Zack said as he quickly changed forms and flew off in Spider-Man's directions.
Bailey scowled and glared at Zack's flying form. "I'm going to kill him! I AM GOING TO KILL HIM!" with that Bailey turned to her liquid form and in a blur of silver she was off to the fight.
Spider-Man used the momentum of his swing to bring both his feet colliding into Venom's chest. "I missed you Brock, you never returned my calls or emails. I'm beginning to not like me." Spider-man quipped as Venom returned to his feet.
"Not now Spider! Not now!" Venom said after getting to his feet. He began his charge towards the Spider.
Spider-Man easily jumped into the air avoiding the charge of the angry symbiote. "Oh I'm sorry did you want to hug? Cause that face said kiss and well I'm afraid I don't like you that way."
Carnage walked to the edge of the rooftop and looked down below as countless number of symbiotes began to terrorize the civilians. "You should have joined us. Now you will face our wrath" Carnage laughed his homicidal laugh and prepared to jump onto the streets below.
"Whoa look out!" With a crash Zack, now in his Cyclone outfit, crashed into Carnage. As the mutant regained his composure he looked around the rooftop. He saw the costumed man who had taken Bailey, an angry creature covered in black with a white what looked to be spider on his chest and a large tongue coming from its mouth, and finally he saw Hawk.
"Nice pajamas," Zack said with a nod towards the still unnamed costumed man. He turned his attention to hawk. "Hawk? What in the…"
As Hawk spoke it was a voice that consisted slightly of Hawks and the other was one that seemed very inhuman. "We were drawn here. And we do not know why."
"This is all well and good but if you guys don't mind I think we should chase after Carnage." Spider-Man said as he pointed towards Carnage leaping to another rooftop.
"CASSIDY!" Venom yelled as he sent one of his own webs out and chased after his other.
"Well it's been fun fellas but I'm afraid Spider-Man must be going after them. It is after my bedtime." Spider-man replied. It would be funny if it wasn't so god damned true, Peter thought with a sigh.
"Afraid not young spider." Hawk said is his eerie voice. He spread his palm and part of his symbiote wrapped Spider-Man up.
"Oh so he's this 'Spider-Man', dude I am your biggest fan. Can I get an autograph?" Zack replied as he approached the tied up superhero.
"Not now. Not now." Spider-man replied as air began to escape him.
"You superheroes are so snobbish." Zack turned his attention to Hawk. "So why have we tied him up?"
"We want answers." Hawk answered simply.
"We do? Personally I want an autograph. I could care less about your answers." There was a growl and the same thing that had wrapped around Spider-Man now covered Zack.
"He's got the symbiote." Spider-Man said as he felt air fill his lungs again. "They say things like we, they kind of go insane. Much like a teenage girl and their love for the Backstreet Boys."
"Fags! COUGH!" Zack said as he felt the air escape his lungs. So worth adding cough. Zack thought as he felt part of his mind go black and darkness consume him. His conscious faded the last image he saw was a silver blur crash into Hawk and then he hit the ground.
Zack opened his eyes and found he looking up at Bailey's face and the costumed Spider-Man crouching looking at the streets below. Zack looked at Bailey and smiled, "You know all the times I imagined me in your lap I always imagined less clothes." Bailey smiled and once again began to chew on her bottom lip.
"So the big guy who nearly killed you, until liquid girl came and interrupted, friend of yours?" Spider-Man asked as he approached the two mutants.
"First, its wet girl." Zack replied as he used his fingers to count to one. "Second, he's our teacher."
"Teacher huh? Wow when I fail its usually just likes a slap on the wrists and another chance. They never try to end my life."
"Let me try instead of Zack, since his brain is in his other head." Bailey said.
"My BIGGER head!" Zack added.
Bailey sighed, and then continued. "We are mutants, of the mutant group Friends of Mutants Everywhere. We are lead by three people. They teach us to fight and the occasional lesson or two. Hawk is one of those, though he is no mutant but has the symbiote." Bailey caught her breath, talking like that without a pause was definitely not an easy task.
"Sounds like an X-Men situation." Replied Spider-Man smiling under his mask though no one could tell.
"Yeah but there's a difference between us." Zack said as he stood up from Bailey's lap. "Besides having the kick ass Zack on the team we differ from one other thing. Their bald leader is all about human mutant relations. We, on the other hand, are more about making sure us mutants don't get extincted in the mean time."
"Extinct." Spider-man corrected.
"I know what I said. Now about that autograph?"
This chapter had to be reworked too thanks to someone not liking the way I portrayed their characters. Didn't change that much though. Now what did you think? So on and so forth. It was going to be one chapter but I realized it was just too long! But no worries the next chapter will be up REAL soon. Also, sorry it took longer then a day, its been one hell of a fathers day weekend. Anyway I want your feedback and if your bored try and guess which comic book character I'll bring into the Evolution world. Don't worry it should be slightly clear by next chapter and I'll give a few hints. So go on, review.
