Chp. 19- Human
Mary Jane was laying on her back, staring at the ceiling. The head phones on her head were blasting, trying to drown out her thoughts. (A/N Song playing can be heard. It is the version of "Kiss from a Rose" that you decide in the poll!!) She continued staring at the ceiling, dried tears stuck on her face. Slowly but surely her thoughts began to drown out the music, taking over every bit of space her brain had. She began to wonder about Peter. Was she too harsh? Was she too domineering? Was she more focused on herself than his righteousness? She hated herself for continuously thinking about it all. She wasn't completely stable enough to, the shock hadn't completely worn off. She shifted herself over and onto her stomach. The rain was pounding hard outside. As the thoughts continued invading her mind, she began to fall into uneasy sleep, the weight of her eyes, guilt, and sadness causing her to slow down and rest. She fell fast asleep, the cd player continuing it's current play list as she slept.
The sun shone brilliantly over the New York skyline, casting it's light through the window at the lump of Peter Parker, still lying asleep. It began to sting his closed eyes and so he turned and staggered awake. He immediately began his morning routine, turning on the police scanner and getting himself clothes to wear. After a good 15 minutes of listening, he made his way to the restroom across the hall. When he returned, cleaned from the previous day and night of sweating, he grabbed his scooter keys and headed out the door.
The scooter made it's buzzing sound quite recognizable as Peter made his way to Aunt May's home. Parking outside and locking up, he rubbed the last of the wrinkles out of his shirt before entering the apartment complex, knowing full well that if May catches him with wrinkly clothing, she would fuss.
He knocked three knocks on her door and she opened promptly.
"Why hello Peter," she said with a smile, "How's my boy doing today?"
Peter smiled as he entered.
"Nothing much. Just wanting to look in on you and see how things are."
May smiled as she made her way to the kitchen.
"Oh come now Peter," she said slyly, "You mainly come around whenever something is wrong or you need me for something. I know you don't come in just to see this old bag of bones."
Peter gave a chuckle and then changed from smile to smirk.
"You're right. But I do like seeing you regardless."
May smiled and brought him a cup of hot tea. She then sat down opposite of him.
"Now tell me what's going on."
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Connors ran through the various tunnels of the underground, using the dilapidated signs marking the streets the sewers ran under as a guide. He licked his lips at the thought of himself returning to normal once more. He rounded another corner, taking it sharp enough that he was running on all fours on the wall. He righted himself and continued on. Suddenly he stopped underneath a manhole. He looked at the sign on the wall. It read Bergen Ave-Maxie Blvd.
"Exccccccccellent," he said to himself.
Then with a a quick build up of power, he lept up and through the manhole, breaking a large hole in the street and causing cars to swerve and stop. He growled at the passengers and drivers and then quickly went bounding towards the end of Maxie Blvd. At the very end of the street, surrounded by wire fence, was Oscorp Industries Special Research Laboratories.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Well Peter, that's quite a story. I'm not sure why you and Mary Jane are having so many problems as of late, but every relationship has it's ups and downs. Maybe you both just need your own space for..."
She was cut off by a Special Report that can bursting onto the screen.
"We interrupt your current program to bring you this special report."
The screen came on with a reporter in front of Oscorp Industries.
"We're here in front of Oscorp Industries to bring you news that a large, reptilian entity has apparently invaded the laboratory and has barricaded itself in the research lab. In it's wake, we have over two dozen scientists and guards injured."
Aunt May's eyes went wide. So did Peter's, who immediately put his glass down.
"I have to go now Aunt May. Thank you for your advice," he shouted, heading for the door.
"Wait, Peter!"
It was too late. He had already ran out the door. She sighed and began to clean up.
Peter ran down the hall, nearly colliding with a man in an overcoat.
"Sorry," he called as he passed by and ran down the stairs. The man in the overcoat smiled and continued on.
There was a loud knock on Aunt May's door. She looked up.
"I wonder who that is?"
She opened the door, and saw the man in the overcoat.
"Hello May," he said with a dark giggle.
May's eyes went wide.
"Who are...," he mouth was closed by a red and black mixed hand. It squeezed around her mouth, letting not a sound escape. Carnage giggled maniacally, the double voice echoing in her ears.
"How bout a date tonight! Just you, me, and your friendly neighborhood Spider-Man!
Chp. 20- Lizard Tamer
Connor's clawed finger tips typed onto the console. He had damaged the doors and put up equipment in front of it so he would'nt be disturbed. Random figures and equations came onto the screen.
"Yessssssss, yesssssssss. Thisssssssssss issssssssss it," he spoke softly to himself.
Several tubes of fluorescent colored liquid began to push into a large mixer, causing a large hissing noise to erupt from the boiling mixer. Connors watched the figures intensely at the computer screen. Finally an alarm sounded, signaling the end of the mix. Opening a sliding door, Connors used several gloves to grab onto the hot vial filled with a clear luminescent light blue liquid. He licked his lips and smiled.
"Finally ssssssssssssssuccessssssssssssssssssssssssss!!!!"
The ceiling shook. Pieces of metal and mortar fell. Connors looked up and saw the ceiling cave in, breaking and falling apart. Spider-Man fell through with the debris, the dust covering his suit. He landed crouched and then slowly stood.
(Spider-Man theme plays, and then as the battle begins, the Doc Ock theme begins playing)
"Heya tall, dark, and green! I missed you yesterday!"
Connors smirked.
"You fool. I dont even need to deal with you anymore. I have here my sssssssssssalvation!!"
Spidey noticed the vial of liquid.
"Doc, are you sure that's gonna work? You've been through and awful lot and now you're trusting what appears to be brightly glowing toilet bowl cleaner from a lab you don't even work at to bring you back to normal? You're just not thinking clearly!"
Connors roared at him.
"I will become human again! And you will not ssssssssssstop me!!!"
He then opened the vial and swallowed it's contents. He then broke the vial in his hands and let out a large grunt. Spider-Man shook his head in disbelief.
"Doc, what have you done," he said softly.
The Lizard formerly known as Connors smiled as he began to feel the change. Then his smile turned to a frown as he doubled over. Spider-Man ran to him.
"Dr! Are you al...," he was cut off as Connors backhanded him across the room.
Spider-Man hit the wall and indented himself in it. He staggered up and watched in horror as Dr. Connors' body began to build up, his shredded lab clothes beginning to tear even more. His inhuman voice was becoming deeper and angrier sounding. His skin was going from green to a dingy grey color. Small spikes began to form out of his scales on his back and his claws grew longer. Soon he was 3 times his size and completely stripped of clothing. His breath was hot and Spider-Man could feel it, even across the room. The now more than ever Lizard was standing tall. In fact, Lizard didn't even describe him. He was more dinosaur than lizard. He roared at Spider-Man, saliva flying from his jaws.
"Oh boy," Spider-Man said.
The Mega Lizard trudged towards Spider-Man, his feet making tracks in the tiled floor. As he neared Spider-Man, he reached out a clawed hand and attacked Peter. Spider-Man rolled between his legs and ran to the other side of the room. Lizard turned, roared, and began to run towards Spidey. Spider-Man shot two web blasts into each eye and lept onto the wall,then vaulted to the other. Lizard roared in fury and smashed a clawed fist into the wall, nearly destroying it. He tore the webbing from his eyes and glared at the wall crawler.
"Doc, listen to me! You've got to stop this!"
Lizard roared once more before smashing his tail into the wall Spider-Man was on, causing him to fall to the ground. He hit it hard, looked up and rolled out of the way just as the Mega Lizard's foot came down hard. Spider-Man shot a web line at his leg and run around the Lizard's legs, then through the middle. He tugged as hard as he could and brought the mighty beast down hard.
"Ha ha!"
The Lizard's tail swiped at him, knocking him through the barricaded door and into some of the officers outside. He struggled up, pushing himself off of them.
"Sorry fellas. I gotta run in and hog tie this piggy!"
He ran into the lab and saw no sign of Connors. As he turned to his left, a large reptilian hand clasped him and began to squeeze. Spider-Man shouted in pain as the reptile continued to squeeze. The Mega Lizard opened it's mouth wide, saliva dripping. Spider-Man, seizing the opportunity, fired as much webbing as he could into the beast's mouth, clogging up the hole. Lizard threw Spidey across the room. Spider-Man hit the wall once more, breaking it and falling to the ground. He looked up and saw the Mega Lizard bounding after him. Spider-Man grit his teeth underneath his mask. He hopped onto the wall and vaulted off onto the Lizard's back, landing on it's neck. He webbed around it's neck and formed a rope around it's neck. Then using it, he began to control the direction the thrashing Connors was going. Connors, busy trying to fight Spider-Man off, wasn't looking as Spider-Man directed Connors to smash his head into the wall, knocking the beast down as he lept off. Spider-Man then rushed to the computer terminal and control console on the far side of the room. Connors staggered up and turned to see Spider-Man, his eyes narrowing angrily to him. Then, with a mighty roar, Connors charged at him once more. Spider-Man waited until the last possible second and vaulted over the mighty beast. Connors open maul smashed into the computers and consoles, shattering everything and causing electricity to flood his reptilian body. Connors roared once more as his body convulsed. Spider-Man watched from behind, breathing heavy. As more and more electricity poured into him, Connors body began to slowly shrink in size. His roaring began to diminish as his body was laying on the ground, slowly shaking and shrinking and his skin began to go back to normal. Spider-Man took the tattered remains of the lab coat and covered Connors in it. Wrapping up and holding onto Connors now human form, Spider-Man lept through the hole in the roof and began to swing towards the nearest hospital.
