texaswookie: It's the DC Billy Batson version that's Captain Marvel in this story
Galabrax: Like around six women before Diana, some of which he was in a relationship with for a while, so that's part of the reason it's low. Grail doesn't know Peter really at this point and time, she's seen him om occasion but has yet to really interact with him, that'll change soon though. Yes, Darkseid will be less than pleased with Peter being with his daughter, but it's more of where they will do the deed than the fact his daughter is with someone.
justafan: They won't come to see him as some boy toy, well except probably Grail but she'll love him in her own dark way. Captain Marvel in this story is Billy Batson. No, Venom isn't female here and wants Spider-man, well it wants him dead but I already have someone for Venom/Eddie.
Spider-man Fan: Their relationship isn't hostile, they just don't like each other much partly because their personalities are so different. Also, Spider-man lets lots of people fight his enemies mainly because he knows the person fighting can hold their own, he'd do the same thing if it was Captain America, Black Widow, or even Daredevil saying they'll deal with one of Spider-man's foes Carnage included, he'll be worried and offer his help yeah but he knows their more than capable. Also, considering that Batman can take on Superman, Spider-man doesn't see a reason why he can't take on Carnage, someone vastly weaker then Superman, plus he knows Batman wouldn't take on Carnage unless he had a plan to deal with him, Batman doesn't pick a fight without really planning it out. Plus, as dangerous as Joker is which is pretty impressive given some of the other DC villains, Spider-man won't have much trouble dealing with him and then quickly heading on over to help Batman finish off Carnage
gunman: For now Carnage will be the only Symbiote aside from Venom showing up. Yeah Peter trying to juggle his duties along with keeping multiple women pleased will be funny to watch, and exhausting for him. As for Carol being the only Marvel girl in the harem, I may add one more Marvel woman so she doesn't feel too alone
nightmaster000: Yeah, Bruce won't be too happy but Peter will be quick to point out that Bruce started it first

"Spider-man…I think I'm starting to catch some of your bad luck" Superman gave the wall crawler a deadpanned look after he just finished hearing what Venom had to say in regards to a brand new Symbitoe running around, attached to one of the most twisted, brutal and insane villains Spider-man has to deal with
The Carnage killer, Cletus Kassidy
Peter couldn't help but nod "Yeah I know, might wanna visit Fate later and have him do some weird cleansing thing on you just incase"
"People around you do tend to suffer a lot don't they Parker" Venom hissed at the man "No wonder your always so alone"
"That's enough" Superman gave the slightly larger being a glare
"It's alright Superman, I'm sadly use to Venom's dark twisted truths and insults…most of the time" Peter sighed as he scratched the back of his head before looking towards Venom with a glare "So what can Cletus do with this symbitoe that's different from you?"
Venom turned away from his glairing match with Superman to address his nemesis "Because our spawn was born here on Earth, it possesses our powers along with new ones. And it's also stronger because it's a new generation"
"Greaaat, a super Venom" Peter said in a sarcastic drawl "Just what this world needs, and it's attached to the Joker's twin to boot!"
"Are they related?" Superman asked with interest "Couldn't help but notice that they do look similar and have similar personalities"
"Batman thinks they might be half-brothers or something, don't know was too busy trying to pretend to ignore him to annoy him" Spider-man said with a shrug
"Heh, no wonder he doesn't like you" Superman said with a smirk
"In my defense, he doesn't like anybody" Spider-man pointed 'He when he finds out what I did with Wonder Woman, he's going to like me even less…then again he did cheat on her first'
It was then that Venom hissed loudly "Come, we are waiting time. Our spawn must be eliminated"
Superman frowned at the parasite wearing criminal "When you say eliminated, do you mean taken down or-"
"We must kill it" Venom said darkly
"But isn't this thing like your kid or something?" Spider-man asked with a raised brow
"The symbiote's kind cares little for the spawn they produce. Once it's separated from us, it's on it's own" Venom stated
"And here I thought Darkseid was a bad parent" Superman muttered
"Okay we find Cletus and then we stop him, without killing him and I'm looking at you Venom, and then we go see what's going on down by the docks" Spider-man said as he looked back and forth between the two other men "Agreed?"
"The docks?" Venom said with confusion "That's where we've tracked our spawn to"
Superman and Spider-man both stared at Venom for a moment before they both groaned out "This is just getting better and better/I hate my life sometimes"
Venom then launched himself off the roof "Come, we must stop him before it gets away!"
Spider-man watched him go for a second before looking towards Superman "We're probably going to need the League at some point, aren't we?"
"Yeah…" Superman nodded before they both took off and followed Venom who was swinging towards the docks like a man on a mission, which he was when one thought about it
…
"Diana…" Bruce said as he saw Wonder Woman descend the stair case that led up to Wayne Manor
"Bruce" Diana said a little icily as she folded her arms across her chest
The two stared at each other for several long moments before Diana spoke again
"Are you going to apologize or not?" Diana said with a glare
Bruce sighed at that "Diana, I didn't-"
"Didn't what? Mean to cheat on me with Talia of all people or didn't mean for me to find out?" Diana growled out as she took several steps toward the caped crusader "How long has this been going on? Since before we started to date or afterwards!"
"I have never been in a relationship with Talia Diana" Bruce said
"Doesn't stop you from screwing her every time you run into her and don't you dare deny it, I just ran into the result of your two's trysts in the past" Diana alluded to the fourth Robin, Damian Wayne. She may have also left out the fact he made a rather insulting remark about her on the way down, something about her being 'unworthy'
"Last night Talia's father Ra's teamed up with Poison Ivy and tried to attack Gotham, she merely helped me stop them from unleashing a bioweapon on the populace, that's all" Bruce gritted out
Diana narrowed her eyes at Bruce, she knew that was everything, with these two it never is. She than looked towards the Bat computer and quickly approached it
"What are you doing?" Bruce asked confused
Diana ignored him and looked up towards the impressive monitor "Computer, Alpha access 232216, code authorization Thomas. Play back cave recordings at around ten thirty last night when Diana Prince called"
She made a mental note to send Jason a gift for telling her some of Bruce's codes for his Bat computer and security systems. He likely foresaw something like this happening and wanted to make sure she found out as early as possible instead of months if not years down the line and end up being hurt even more so
Not a moment sooner a small window popped up and showed a recording of both Bruce in a slight damaged suit and Talia standing in his cave…kissing each other rather eagerly. Diana exhaled rather loudly as she turned towards the emotionless expression of Bruce
"Nothing happened hmm? Looks like plenty did Bruce!" Diana growled out as it showed Talia answering her call as Bruce planted a series of kisses down the woman's throat. It also showed Diana ending the call and the feed just as it showed Bruce and Talia parting as Alfred came down, she liked to think it was to tear Bruce a new one for standing her up and making out with Talia
"I was exposed to some of Poison Ivy's pheromones, Talia took advantage of my lowered inhibitors and instigated the kiss" Bruce said with a stern expression
"Oh so it's Ivy's fault that you wanted to screw Talia!?" Diana asked with a frown "Last time I checked Bruce, you had a very strong tolerance to Ivy's pheromones. They only reason you would have kissed Talia and likely have gone farther was because you wanted to!"
Before Bruce could respond, they both heard the sound of someone coming down the stairs to the Bat cave. Both Diana and Bruce looked to see none other than Talia herself
"Oh for the love of Hades" Diana muttered in annoyance
Talia gave a slight glare towards Diana "Oh, I wasn't aware you were entertaining guests at the moment beloved"
"He wasn't I was just leaving" Diana gritted out before she brushed past Bruce "See you at the next meeting Bruce!"
"Diana wait-" Bruce said only for Diana to stop and send him a glare that actually stopped him dead in his tracks
"No, I'm done waiting for you. And to think you and I could actually have had something" Diana said before she turned and left but making sure to glare at Talia on the way out
Bruce watched sadly as Diana left before he turned to glare at Talia's smirking form "What. Are. You. Doing. Here!"
Talia smirked at the man "I merely came to tell you that I've been able to track down where my father has fled to so we can stop him"
Bruce gritted his teeth at her "You knew she'd be here!"
Talia shrugged "Perhaps…I take it she wasn't too happy about your brief lapse in judgement last night?"
Bruce for the first time in his life had to resist the urge to snap a woman's neck as he glared at Talia's smirking form
…
Diana had to hold back a few tears from escaping her as she made her way towards the entrance of Wayne Manor at a brisk pace. She was afraid that if she stayed here any longer than Gotham would be left questioning why Wonder Woman destroyed the historical mansion and killed it's owner and a known international terrorist
It was then she ran into Alfred who looked at her with a sympathetic look "I'm sorry ma'am had I known Talia al Ghul was still here I would have warned you"
Diana gave the older man a kind smile "It's okay Alfred, it isn't your fault"
Alfred nodded "If it helps ma'am, I took the liberty of giving Master Bruce a very stern talking to"
Diana giggled at that, she's seen Alfred's scolding's in the past, they were something she hoped to never have directed at her "I'm sure Bruce won't forget it anytime soon"
"I'm sure he won't ma'am" Alfred said as he escorted Diana to the door "And ma'am, if there's anything you need don't be afraid to ask"
"Thank you, Alfred," Diana said as she pulled the man into warm embrace "And give my love to the rest"
"I will ma'am" Alfred said as he patted the Amazon's back before opening the door for her and seeing her out
Diana then shot off into the sky and headed back towards her home in Washington D.C. wondering what she was going to do now that she was back on the market as the saying goes
'…I'm tempted to find Spider-man and fuck my sadness away but that won't be fair to him' Diana thought before she took a deep breath 'Maybe after I've calmed down a bit…and give Carol a heads up'
…
Meanwhile back in Metropolis things weren't going as well as Spider-man and Superman had hoped. Turns out the thing that Lex was having shipped over from Europe was a sort of cyborg that was made up a combination of the Superman clone Bizarro and Amazo…and it was now under the control of Carnage as Cletus has taking to calling himself now
"Oh this is just perfect!" Spider-man yelled as he was being forced to dodge a combination of the Bizzaro-Amazo cyborg's heat blasts and gunfire from Luthor's goons
"I'll handle the cyborg, you take care of Luthor's men" Superman shouted as he dodged a blast from the cybernetic clone of his and rammed his fist into it's head creating a small shockwave
"Can do big blue" Spider-man sent the man a nod as he shot several web lines towards several of Luthor's men while keeping an eye out for Carnage and Venom who disappeared
'Hope Brock didn't just bail on us' Peter thought before he heard a loud boom and turned to see Venom come crashing out of a window on an old building with Carnage right behind him with both hands in the shape of maces 'You know, part of me can't help but laugh at Venom getting the snot kicked out of him by a super powered symbitoe for a change'
Peter heard a loud click behind him and turned to see one of Luthor's goons aiming a weapon at him
"Eat lead web head!" the man shouted before suddenly a fire extinguisher hit him in the back of the head, causing him to fall forward to reveal…
"Lois? What are you doing here?" Peter said in surprise
Lois shrugged "What I smelled a big story and dint want to miss out"
Peter groaned before he heard a loud roar and turned to see Carnage back hand venom away before turning his pale white eyes towards Peter and Lois
"Well hello Spidey and miss Lane!" Carnage said with dark glee before he licked his lips with a long-barbed tongue "Mmm you both look so tasty"
"Uh Spidey, who's that?" Lois said feeling unsettled as she got behind Peter
"Lois meet Carnage, Venom's kid who happens to be bonded with Cletus Kassidy" Peter said as he balled his fists
"The Carnage killer?" Lois said with some dread "Oh fuck me…"
"Uh I don't think now's the best time Miss Lane, maybe later assuming I survive of course" Spider-man said as Carnage formed two large axes with his hands and leaped towards them with a roar of dark twisted laughter
"DIIIIIIIIIIIIIIE HAHAHAHAHA!"
…
And done.
So next chapter Spider-man and Lois Lane vs Carnage while Superman takes on a Amazo-Bizzaro hybrid.
And just a heads up, Luthor wasn't working with Carnage, it was pure coincidence that he was at the docks the same time Luthor was to get his Amazo-Bizzaro hybrid, only with Spider-man's luck would that happen.
