"Me? Well, I'm... Spider-Man!" the Spider-Man answered. "Who the hell do I look like? You look like a fraud to me... I've heard of Spider-Woman, but who the hell is Spider-Girl?"

"I'm the daughter of the real Spider-Man!" Spider-Girl shot back. "Not some two bit idiot going around impersonating my father's respected name! And you had the nerve to copy his costume too? This is just too much!"

"Listen lady, I've got the right to be Spider-Man as much as you got the right to be Spider-Girl!" Spider-Man spat. "So back off of me with all this copyright stuff! Now excuse me, I've got a city to patrol..."

"I don't think so buddy, not until you take off my dad's costume!" Spider-Girl screamed as she took his wrist. "I'm not gonna..." Spider-Man ripped out of Spider-Girl's grip with minimal effort, then took a swing at the heroine, who dodged via Spider Sense.

"So you want to fight huh?" Spider-Girl shouted as she did a spin kick, which Spider-Man dodged with a backflip. Spider-Girl followed up by trying to wrap a strand of web around the Spider-Man's ankle, but Spider-Man avoided this by clinging onto the brick wall behind him. As he did this, he sent a strand of web at Spider-Girl's chest, which Spider-Girl tried to avoid, but was unsuccessful. She was pulled toward the Spider-Man, which caused her to smack into the brick wall. Spider-Man then wrapped Spider-Girl into a cocoon of web, which resulted in the webhead to fall on her butt.

"And that's that, pretty short fight for all that talk to were spouting," Spider-Man stated as he stood over Spider-Girl's cocooned body with one foot rested on the cocoon. "I expected better from Spider-Man's own daughter, if that's who you really are. Well, we're done here, this will make one heck of a scoop! Say cheese by the way..." Spider-Man stood over Spider-Girl in a heroic pose as a camera's flash went off.

"Oh no, you can't be serious..." Spider-Girl moaned as Spider-Man gave her a two fingered salute.

"Leave the hero business to the Spider-Men, you little girl's should go play with doll's or something!" Spider-Man shouted as he swung from the scene. "Later!"

"Jerk, why would he do something like that?" Spider-Girl growled as she struggled to free herself from the cocoon. "Damn, I can't get outta this! Come back here and get me out of this, now! JERK!"

"Spider-Girl vs. Spider-Man!" Moose shouted as he placed the morning's paper on the lunchroom table. "You know that guy we thought was Spider-Man? Well I guess it was a female, so it was Spider-Girl! Spider-Man found out, then thrashed Spider-Girl in an alleyway!"

"Wow, who would have thought Spider-Girl would have been out there, alone," Goku stated as he glanced at May, who looked away from her brother's glare. "I don't think that's the original Spider-Man, he wouldn't have gone that far."

"Dude, that Spider chick was trashing his image, of course he would strike back!" Moose shouted. "It's her own fault for challenging a great, she had to get taught a lesson!"

"Yeah... I guess your right Moose," Goku responded as May looked down at the floor. It had been a long day for her. She had broken from the web after it softened six hours later, she had been late to school because of this, plus she missed training with Peter. Also, she was going to get chewed out for sneaking out, then because of the Spider-Girl fiasco. Now, her brother was upset with her.

"I-I gotta get some air," May said as she jumped up from her seat. "I'll catch up with you guys later..." May took off from the lunchroom, going outside to get a breath of fresh air.

"You seem down, what's wrong?" a voice asked as Shannon Carter, aka American Dream walked up to May. "Your name is May right? Yeah, I'm..."

"American Dream, I didn't forget," May interrupted. "Sorry, I've had a stressful day, being a hero isn't all it's cracked up to be sometimes. It feel's like the world is against me today, and I just don't know how to stop it."

"Yeah, I know what you mean," Shannon responded as she sat down on the curb. "Being a hero is tough, but also pretty fulfilling. Some think that the glitz and glammer will always be there, but people will hate you before they respect you, it's human nature. You gotta prove to them your a force, not a mouse that'll run and hide when you get ridiculed."

"You seen today's paper too huh?" May asked glumly as Shannon tossed the newspaper in May's lap. "Great... guess I might as well rip up that application for the Avenger's huh?"

"Your a skilled fighter and ally, but you've got a lot to work on before you can join the Avenger's," Shannon answered. "But when you are ready, I'll gladly accept that application. Now exucse me, I've got an engagement to attend to..." Shannon looked back as Goku exited the school.

"You came here to see my brother?" May asked as Shannon winked.

"Later Spidey!" she shouted as she ran to meet up with Goku.

"Yeah... later," May responded as she looked up at the sky.

Meanwhile, a shipping crew was in the process of bringing a piece of the original Venom symbiote to a superhero museum, where it would be on display for the general public. As it was brought up a dolley, a clumsy worker accidently dropped the glass the symbiote was trapped inside was dropped, the symbiote spilling out into a sewer line.

"You clumsy idiot, you just dropped a dangerous artifact!" one of the worker's shouted as the clumsy worker scratched the back of his head in embaressment. As the dead symbiote was pulled down the sewer, a rat sniffed the symbiote curiously. As it did, the symbiote reawakened, going onto the rat. As the rat struggled, it was finally taken over by the symbiote, which looked up to see another sewer line with light. The symbiote rat jumped up, going through into the city...

As May walked home from school alone, she could only think of how much she failed. She sighed as she tripped over a small rat, who was pitch black in color.

"I'm sorry little mouse..." May stated as she knelt down to pick the rat up. "Are you OK...?" May's eyes widened as the rat's skin jumped onto May, spreading across her body.

"What... is happening to me?" May screamed as the symbiote fit her body like a snug suit. It was quite sleek, all black, but stylized like her old outfit.

"This is... amazing power!" May screamed as the suit into her own clothes, a grin slithering onto May's face. "This suit is awesome! Wait until I tell Goku I found... wait, why tell him? He wanted to judge me too, so their's no need!

Is May turned evil? Will she be absorbed in by the symbiote as her father did? Find out next chapter!
