I DON'T OWN AYTHING.
Chapter Six: Night Terrors.
New Jersey, in an unknown apartment complex, the crying of an infant wakes up a single father from his sleep.
"I'm coming Stan, I'm coming…" The father groaned as he walked to his son with a bottle already ready. The father picked up his son as he fed the child.
"Well since you woke me up, I guess I'll watch the news, maybe we can see of Peter's work." The man said as he picked up a TV remote and turned it on the evening news.
"And in major news, Alchemax CEO Elizabeth Allen and her son Norman Osborn JR. have been kidnapped by the Goblin criminal gang along with symbiotic serial killer Carnage." The news anchor said once the television was turned on. In that instant it seemed everything else stopped for the man as he starred at the TV.
"No…" The father said as he simply fed his child completely and once complete, he placed his now sleeping baby and walked to a closet door.
"Liz, Normine I should've been there…" The man said as he opened his closet to see a version of the infamous American Son suit, but army green and a version of the Goblin glider.
"…And I'll make sure those bastards will pay!" Harry Osborn growled as he grabbed the armor's helmet and pressed a button behind the helmet as the entire suit activates.
Meanwhile in the Goblin Underground, a computer screen turns on as it shows a map of New Years with a red dot pointing to an apartment complex.
"Boss, we got him!" Jack O Lantern yelled as he was trying to find Harry Osborn's location.
"I figured he'll show his location soon once we took his old flame and first son." Osborn said as he walked to the serial killer.
'Should we pick the kids up boss man?" Jack asked as he was already bored in doing his current job.
"Not let him find us, his anger will leave his child exposed." Osborn grinned as the symbiote began to form around him.
Back on the surface, specifically in a rather nice New York hotel, a female wasn't having a great night of sleep. This was because a tragedy has violated her dreams and sleep.
"Dad?! Where are you!?" Andi Benton called out in a twisted version of her former apartment complex.
"Andi!" Her father yelled as Andi heard, when in that instant she ran to the source of the voice. Once then she gasped as she saw the father, almost zombie like, with a scythe coming out of his chest and Jack O Lantern behind him.
"Too late orphan girl…" Jack O Lantern chuckled as he pulled up his scythe, ripping Andi's father in half.
"YOU BASTARD!" Andi yelled as her skin began to fall off and Mania emerged instead. She then pinned Jack O Lantern and started to rip him the shreads in a bloody mess.
"Andi…" A female voice begged as Mania started down to see Aracely, ripped to shreads and in a smaller Jack O L antern costume.
"OH GOD ARACELY!" Andi began to cry as she heard laughter behind her as she saw an unmasked Jack O Lantern on his broomstick as he aimed a flamethrower at her and pulled the trigger.
"NO!" Andi scream as she shot out of her bed, tears down her eye and covered in sweat. She then turned to see one of her hands had her symbiote covering it with claws already elongated.
"Andi?! Andi?! I sense you're scarred! Can I come in?!" Aracely kocked at her hotel roms door as the two have a jointed room.
Andi sighed as she commanded her symbiote in her body and said softely "Yeah, you can come in." In that instant Aracely burst through and hugged her friend.
"I've sense you're dream! Don't cry I'm alive!" Aracely cried as she hugged her friend.
Trying to absorb the fact just how caring Aracely truly was as she slowly returned the embrace. She then whispered "Hey it was just a stupid dream. You don't have to cry yourself."
Aracely sensed Andi's thoughts as she let her go and smiled at her. The two then had a quiet moment now in a gentle hug as the two both felt a stronger bond together.
"Alright Aracely I'm fine, you can go to your room now." Andi said as she noticed Aracely didn't respond. "Aracely?"
It was then she heard some quite snoring as Andi realized Aracely has fallen asleep during their hug. Andi couldn't help but smile as didn't want to wake Aracely up so the slowly laid back down and pulled the covers up on both of them as Andi herself began to fall asleep herself as she wrapped her arms around Aracely.
And in this not so quite night, now at New York docks, two heroes were busy in their investigation.
"Make it quick you dumbasses, this is Goblin territory!" A man dressed as Crime-Master ordered as several thugs carried crates containing guns and explosives.
"Not anymore…" A voice growled as the thugs looked up to see Agent Venom dropped unto them as he immediately began taking on the thugs.
"Sh*t Venom! Kingsley owes me big for selling me Crime-Master's identity in exchange to screw with Goblin turf!" The fake Crime-Master yelled in fear as he removed his mask and tried to run off, only to pump into another spider powered hero.
"Going somewhere dumbass?" Scarlet Spider threatened as the punched the fake Crime-Master in the face, knocking him out instantly.
"Hey! I wanted to punch him!" A female voice yelled as the two Spiders looked to see Betty Brant ran to see the heroes quickly defeating the rather pathetic thugs.
"Finders keepers…" Kaine said as he webbed the faux crime lord against a wall.
"Hey Betty…" Flash said awkwardly to his ex-girlfriend.
"Hey…" Betty said awkwardly herself as she surveyed the area. "So where's Peter?"
"With MJ, with Osborn around he does not want to leave her side unless she's with Felicia or Logan." Agent Venom explained.
"And I wish I was in bed myself, guess that Intel of this being a Goblin hotspot was crap…" Scarlet Spider said with annoyance.
"Well, at least we know Roderick Kingsley isn't helping him out. For all we know he's pissed at them." Flash interjected as he remembered what the fake Crime-Master said.
Minutes later, the spiders and Betty left as the thugs were webbed up as they waited for the police to inevitably come and arrest them.
"So Venom was here?" A deep growl asked as the thugs didn't know where it came from.
"Ok officer, you got us!" The fake Crime-Master said with mercy.
"No…" The voice hissed "…no police. JUST US!" The voice roared as a reddish orange monster lunged with a toothed jaw aimed at them. It was then the monster devoured and mauled the thugs mercilessly as they screamed in agony before it went quiet.
"So much pathetic scums but we know what the new root of all evil is in this city…" The monster said as it morphed into a tall, gruffed man in a trench coat as he walked from his prey.
"Soon we'll kill Carnage with our own hands!" Eddie Brock, aka Toxin, growled as he had blood on his mind.
To be continued.
