Spider Venom: Betrayal
Birds awoke the sleeping Spider, his eyes fluttered his body sore as he groaned moving past the aches as he sat up, noticing his body was bare, a simple pair of boxers and a blanket were all that covered him, his mask was also on. His head turned to see Trevor sleeping nearby in a chair, he looked exhausted, obviously he had been staying awake to take care of his wounds, he swung his legs over the edge of the bed, placing his face in his palms, rubbing he let out a sigh. He made his way over to his not so damaged suit, Trevor had made some repairs on it, though it was clear he wasn't used to repairing clothes, the holes and scuffs were still mostly present, but he liked that the man at least tried. So he donned the suit once more before stretching his muscles, sparring with the air, then the sleeping man woke up, seeing his lover practicing he smiled, "Back on your feet it seems." he said with a light tone before yawning. Spider reared his head and nodded, he made it seem like he was out for a while "How long was I out?" asking with a bit of panic "Just a day. It's ten o clock at the moment." Trevor got to his feet and stretched his own muscles, though not as vigorously as Spider, then he turned to him in an almost fighting stance "A whole day!? And it's ten now?! That means I have to be in position in four hours!" suddenly everything dawned on him, soon things would happen that would shape the city. "Don't worry, there is plenty of time to get something to eat and get there before it happens." he explained with a comforting tone as he headed over to Spider, "Just remember you need to keep your cool if you're going to be effective." he kissed the mans cheek, before Spider nodded, "You're right. I need to keep focused, worrying about Shocker and his men is foolish, my job is Spider Man nothing else." if he was going to stay focused he needed to forget Shocker completely, the only thing he was doing was causing Spidey to come out, that was all, he should be thinking of ways to beat him, not losing his temper about Shocker, sleeping a day, or even when fighting Spidey, though when he entered a fight he was rarely able to keep his calm. Trevor smiled, he received a compliment, or what sounded like one to him at least, "I tried fixing your suit up. Though I suck at it as you can tell." he chuckled, before Spider chuckled back "You do suck. But at least you tried, I appreciate that." his voice wasn't filled with the usual cold unrelenting focus it normally was, but it was filled with something softer, more comforting, though his mind quickly snapped back to the familiar Spider as he took steps away from him.
"You are going to stay here while I take care of Spider Man" Trevor lowered his brow in thought and slight anger "What? Are you kidding me?" his voice matched his look now. Spider turned back in a more hostile manner "Yeah that's right! You'll only get in my way!" he almost shouted, his stance turned into a squaring off pose, Trevor backed down, he wasn't much of a fighter, he simply nodded, "Fine. I'll stay put." his head followed his voice as it lowered, Spider sighed lightly, he wasn't used to people backing down so easily, or putting up no fight, he felt almost bad for doing this to Trevor, but it was easier to be nasty than admit the truth to him, that if something happened to him he would probably lose it, go off on some rampage. He was almost afraid of his own emotions, so admitting it to himself was hard, let alone Trevor. "Good, I'm glad you decided to listen to reason." his voice had changed once again, no longer was it hostile, but casual, all he got in response was a nod, it was true that he couldn't be much help to Spider, but he just wanted to do something, feel like he was doing something, but he was right, there was no point in going along, he would only make things harder for him. "Just be careful." his eyes looked at the black lenses of Spider's suit and pleaded with him almost, as his lips turned to a small frown, Spider nodded, "I will." his body turned to face the roof exit "I have to go" Trevor nodded, "It's fine. I'll see you when you get back" it felt so strange with how casual they made this seem, it was by far the strangest most unusual thing that had ever happened to him.
So while Trevor waited impatiently Spider was slinging his way to the rooftop opposite the bank, stepping onto the roof he sat down on the edge, overlooking the bank, a big metal hand dial clock said the time was one seventeen, so he had time to spare, even when he took it slow, there was no need to rush to the meeting point. Spider studied the surroundings, the angles, people, lights, possible weapons, throwing and melee, escape routes, everything worth noting he took into account. It was a weekday during work hours near a bank, lots of people, good for causing a distraction if he needed to make a getaway, little lamps he could use as throwing weapons, alleys he could lay traps, as he kept taking things into account soon the bells sounded for two, "Show time" he said with a smirk.
His eyes peered down from the roof, soon a resonating explosion sounded below, Shocker used his experimental gauntlets that emitted high waves of sound, making sound weaponized. Blasting past the doors, cracking and even in parts blowing the stone apart Shocker stepped into the bank, his armed escort taking charge of hostages, shooting down some guards, the alarm bells rung, the police would show up soon, but judging by the amount of firepower Shocker had, not to mention hostages the police would be powerless to do anything about it. He just witnessed a display of power he never thought possible in one man, he destroyed a building, with ease, soon Shocker had gained entry to the vault, his constant barrage and renewable weapon source meant he just kept going till it was open, which didn't take long, not even for a secured door, like that in the bank.
Moments later the police arrived, but Spider remained in his spot, watching them surround the entrance, a small smirk played on his lips, they were clueless to the happenings in the bank, not to mention they looked terrified, they could see the damage Shocker had done, a captain sounded on the microphone "Come out with your hands up. We have the place surrounded, you have no where to run!" Spider simply shook his head at the captain, what an idiot he thought. Someone opened fire from the bank, assault rifle, full auto, peppered the police cars outside, they took cover as more and more opened fire, three to be exact, all laughing hysterically at the chaos they were creating, they felt like they had power when holding a gun, Spider knew those types of men very well, take that away and they are helpless cowards. "Move!" sounded a commanding voice, clinking of metal boots sounded in Spider's ears, Shocker stood at the entrance, threw his arms forward and a huge wave of energy surged forth, blowing the cars, police officers and anything else light enough into the air thirty feet back, some men were crushed by the cars, they screamed in agony as their comrades tried lifting the car off them. Shocker simply turned back and entered the building once more to oversee the execution of his plan, once more the men opened fire, they used the time to reload their weapons, the police opened fire now as well, however they didn't have the same kind of weapons as their adversaries.
Needless to say Spiderman soon came, he could hear the cheers of the people before he even caught sight of him, Spidey's own siren call, a tell tale sign of when to get truly ready, he smiled and hunched down to conceal himself as much as possible. Spidey was heading for the entrance, ready to take out Shocker's men, but Spider flung into action as soon as he knew it was a clear shot, Spidey turned his head just a little too late, he got knocked hard by both legs curled into knees, it was like getting hit by a battering ram as he flew straight into the concrete building. When the police saw this they all opened fire on Spider, but soon Shocker emerged from the bank with his men in tow, hostages, money too, his men started shooting from the cover of their human shields, police helpless, all they could do was take cover behind the cars and hope that the hostages weren't killed. Spider continued pounding into Spidey before he could get his bearings, Spidey managed to slip in a quick punch to the side and a knee before kicking him off, Spider latched onto the building, Spidey then flung aggressively towards him, throwing his fist into his face, chest, he got hit by a barrage of punches, when he tried avoiding Spidey would latch onto him with a web and pull him close enough to punch, sometimes he would even manage to pull him into the punch causing more damage, Spider got away, looking down at Shocker he shouted "Don't just stand there! Help!" but Shocker simply laughed, his men looked at him waiting for orders, "Let's get outta here!" his arm lifted and raised in direction of a van, all his men nodded, taking the hostages into cars, the money into the van along with shocker, they started making their escape while the remaining police and Spidey focused on Spider.
He was horrified, he had just been betrayed, gunshots sounded below as bullets hit the building he was on, he needed to run, "Not again!" he was so pissed right now, he could've done it with the help of Shocker and his men, but instead that bastard chose to get the money instead of Spiderman, he must've planned it from the very beginning. So Spider tried swinging away, but Spidey pursued "You won't get away this time!" he called behind him, he was being chased by Spiderman. He took some alleys, ducking under pipes, going up and down, below, above fire escapes trying to avoid the blue an red suited hero, but he kept on him. Suddenly, fairly far away from the chaotic streets outside the bank Spider was hit by the hero, sending him hurtling to the ground, slamming against concrete buildings, landing harshly against metal bins he stumbled back on his feet, Spidey simply watched him, ready for another attack, but the black suited man simply shook his head, sitting down looking defeated, "What's wrong? Your tummy sore or something?" he taunted, Spider wanted nothing more than to punch that bastard right in the face, but he sighed, biting back a taunting response. "I was betrayed, you're damn lucky otherwise you'd have been beaten." angrily he blurted out, Spidey laughed, "Well I never thought a criminal would go back on his word for money. That's so surprising!" sarcasm was another insult, he knew he had been stupid, but to now be lectured by this man was even worse. "I want to kill that man." his voice turned cold, so much rage that it was quiet instead of screaming, Spidey then said something that made his chin raise, "Well you can get your revenge if you help me stop him." Spider looked on, shocked at this suggestion, "Are you serious?" he asked instinctively, he nodded "Yes I am. Heck I bet you could get a pardon if you helped me. I know it would only be a brief partnership, but you might find that being a good guy is more rewarding than trying to be someone like Shocker." he said with hope in his voice, Spider thought about this offer, before nodding slowly, "I accept. Let's take that prick down."
