SLAP!
Peter's right cheek swelled up as Ursula slapped him.
A few minutes earlier
Reeennttt Mr Ditkovich called out to Peter.
Not now, Peter replied.
It's a free country, not a rent free country.
Leave me alone, Peter clearly does not feel like having a conversation.
Give me rent, Mr Ditkovich raised his tone.
I'll give you rent WHEN YOU FIX THIS DAMN DOOR! Peter yelled in frustration.
Both Mr Ditkovich and his daughter Ursula looked at Peter with a shocking expression.
Peter's eye met Ursula's as she looked at him with a mix of worrying and disappointing look before he quickly went into his apartment and closed the door.
That wasn't cool, Ursula walked up to her father who was still in shock.
He… is….. a good boy, Mr Ditkovich flicking his point finger towards Peter's apartment as he looks at his daughter.
He must be in some kind of trouble, Ditkovich taking slow breaths in between his words.
Inside of Peter's apartment, Peter shut the doors to his balcony and then looked at himself in the mirror. Peter unbuttoned his shirt to reveal a part of his new black suit.
He was lost in thought as he tried to comprehend what he just said to Mr Ditkovich. Peter looked down at his suit before looking up again only to see a monster flash before his eyes. Scared of what he just saw, he was about to take it off as someone knocked on his door.
Peter didn't respond.
It's me Ursula, I need to have a talk with you, Ursula said as she continued to bang at the door.
LEAVE ME ALONE!, Peter yelled once again in frustration.
Ursula entered his apartment easily because Peter forgot to lock the door. Ursula entered with a visibly angered face.
That was *NOT* cool Peter.
Clearly your dad didn't take the memo to shut it, Peter huffed.
Don't talk to my dad like that Peter! I don't know what's going on with you but you didn't have to yell at him like that, Ursula pointing out Peter's misbehavior.
Well if he had fixed the door, we wouldn't have any issues.
Excuse me?! Ursula couldn't believe what Peter was saying.
Do I have to repeat myself? Fix the damm.. was all Peter got to say before he got slapped in the face.
GET A GRIP OF YOURSELF, Ursula expressed with a disappointing look while holding her hand in pain as the slap went harder than expected.
Peter held his cheek with his hand as he was clearly shocked by Ursula's action.
What, you lost your ability to talk? Ursula retorted as she calmed down.
Peter, I don't know what's going on but that wasn't you.
What do you know about me?! All you are good for is making cheap cookies and thinking I would fall for you?!
Ursula got hurt by his words as her eyes started to tear up.
Well, this girl knows one thing and that's you're Spider-man, Peter looked at her with a visibly shocked face.
You didn't think I would know? I have cleaned your apartment countless times, don't you think I might have seen your spidey stuff? Or how you seemingly always are abnormally late with the rent yet you always find a way to pay it. Ursula questioned Peter's awareness.
I.. how long have you known? Peter stuttered as he couldn't believe Ursula of all people knew his secret identity.
Peter felt guilty and wanted to apologize but a part of him was telling him to not do it as if a devil sat on his shoulder.
A couple of months after you moved in, I saw you changing into Spider-man, Ursula answered Peter's question.
Why didn't you tell anyone?
I knew you wanted to keep Spider-man a secret and I respected that but this was over the line, Ursula said as she was about to leave.
WAIT! Ursula please let me explain, Peter grabbed her hand.
Why should I? All you have done is act like a bully.
I know and I'm sorry, things…. Have been complicated, Peter questioned his own words.
Ursula wanted to leave but the good girl she was. Fine, Ursula sighed in defeat.
Peter and Ursula sat down on the edge of his bed as Peter began recalling the events till present time. How he became Spider-man to discover his uncle's killer was alive and how all he wanted Marco to feel the pain he caused him and Aunt May.
I killed him in the sewers the other day, I felt so relieved and powerful when I did that. The suit enhanced my powers and I took it for granted, I'm sorry Ursula, Peter apologizing for his behavior.
Peter, that's horrible, I'm sorry for your loss… Ursula paused for a moment, but killing him; Don't you feel any regret over doing it?
I don't know, I don't know, in the moment it felt so right to do, all that anger swelled up and I couldn't stop thinking about killing him, I know killing isn't the answer but I was getting so tired of villains getting their ways, all I wanted revenge my uncle but looking back, he wouldn't wanted me to do it, Peter sighed in shame.
I know, I haven't known you for long and I can't begin what it feels like to carry all that burden protecting this city. Peter I can't condemn what you did but please don't lose yourself, Spider-man gives this city hope (and me), Ursula kept the last part for herself.
I'm truly sorry for what I did, I didn't know what came over me. I never wanted to yell at your dad like that.
I understand, I will let dad know, Ursula said as she stood up. But Peter, please don't lose yourself. You're so kind and you don't need to act like a bully, if you want someone to talk to, I'm here.
I… Peter couldn't find any words to say.
Don't. I understand, Ursula said as she left his apartment while Peter continued to sit down on the bed, reflecting over his actions.
A few days later
Unfortunately, it didn't take long before Peter lost himself again as the symbiote's influence affected him once again, this time using Gwen Stacy in an attempt to make MJ jealous. That didn't go to plan and he left the restaurant alone, feeling sinful for his actions.
Peter swung towards the nearby church, knowing he had to get rid of the black suit. Ever since he started wearing it, he had destroyed all of his relationships and acted out of line.
What have I done…
Peter starts tearing off the symbiote but it refuses to budge but Peter doesn't give up and pulls harder, the symbiote was losing its grip as pieces of it started to be torn apart by Peter's strength.
AAAAAAAAHHHHH! Peter yelled as he struggled to take off the symbiote.
Suddenly Peter slammed himself at the church bell, generating loud noises making the symbiote scream in agony. Peter, figuring out the symbiote's weakness, slammed himself once more and it became evidently easier to tear apart the symbiote off his body.
Finally the symbiote separated from Peter's body returning to its gooey form. It slips through the cracks of the floor and falls to the ground floor while Peter passes out from the painful separation.
By pure chance, Eddie Brock is also there, wishing for Peter's demise. Hearing the screaming sound from above, Eddie out of curiosity moved towards the sound to see Peter screaming in pain as he tore his black suit. Too focused on Peter, Eddie fails to notice the falling symbiote, touching his shoulders and starts bonding with him.
Eddie screams in fear as the symbiote spreads across his body while Eddie is floating above the floor but stops as the bonding comes to a close, seeing the memories of the symbiote and Peter and sensing the mutual hatred for Peter/Spider-man, Eddie wickedly smiles as the the symbiote finishes off with the mask, showing its true form. Gone was Eddie Brock and the symbiote and gave birth to Venom.
Sometime later
Peter woke up from the painful separation, having not seen Eddie's transformation into Venom, believes the symbiote is gone once and for all. Suddenly Peter realizes he's all naked as the symbiote had destroyed all of his underwear while he was wearing it.
Feeling embarrassed about it, but it was better than sneaking around the streets at night. Peter swung home making sure he kept himself to the high buildings as he didn't want New Yorkers to see a naked man swinging in the middle of the night.
Peter's Apartment
Ursula stayed up late, making sure Peter's room looked the part. As she dusts off some dust, she hears Peter enter through the window.
Hi Pe… was all Ursula could say before she saw him completely naked wondering why the hell he wasn't wearing any clothes. Ursula's face became red as a ripe tomato and held her hands on her face to unsee what she just saw.
Peter quickly hurried to his wardrobe and put on some clothes.
You can stop now, Peter informed Ursula as she peeked making sure Peter wasn't joking.
Peter why… were… you? Ursula was too embarrassed to finish her sentence.
Peter recalled the events while Ursula intensenly listened.
That's why I came home like that, Peter lowered his tone at the end as he was embarrassed. I totally forgot the symbiote was weak to high pitched sound, it must have blocked it from my memories Peter assumed.
I don't have any words to say, Pete are you alright? Ursula worried for her friend.
Yeah I'm glad to be rid of the symbiote, I caused so much pain for everyone wearing that thingggg, Peter yawned as it had been a long night.
I think I'mma head to bed, Ursula I'm sorry for breaking the promise, Peter spoke with shame in his voice.
Peter, don't blame yourself, it was the symbiote making you do that, you don't have to apologize for anything, Ursula said as they hugged before she left.
What they failed to notice, a piece of the symbiote left Peter for Ursula.
Not all of the symbiote bonded to Eddie, a part of it managed to stay on Peter but was too weak to rebond, not it wanted to as it felt hatred for its former host betraying it despite all the perks it gave him.
Recalling Peter's memories and sensing Ursula's love for Peter, it planned to bond with her to take revenge as Peter wouldn't suspect a friend being bonded with an alien.
As Ursula fell asleep, the symbiote started the bonding process. Ursula was rolling back and forth in her sleep as the symbiote kept her in a dreamlike state to prevent her from waking up.
Unfortunately the symbiote underestimated Ursula's willpower as she managed to wake up from the symbiote's nightmare. It managed to crawl all the way to her neck.
Suddenly Ursula noticed the black substance on her body. The symbiote mimicked the webbed black suit with one difference being the spider-logo being much bigger, now stretching across the whole chest and back looking more menacing. It would have completed the bonding with its true face if Ursula didn't woke up.
Ursula quickly put the two together and tried to rush towards Peter's unit for help but the symbiote took control of her body, making its first contact with its new host.
Kill Spider-man, the symbiote revealing its intentions.
Ursula was taken back by the voice.
NO, I won't allow you to kill him! Ursula fought back trying to regain control.
Ursula tried to pull off the symbiote but despite being weakened, it could easily stick to Ursula as she didn't have Peter's super strength.
You corrupted him, made him act out of hand.
You really think I corrupted him? He wished for it, the symbiote replied.
No. You're wrong, Peter would never do that, Ursula denying the symbiote's claims.
The symbiote flashed all of Peter's memories and showing what he felt, Ursula could barely comprehend what she was experiencing. Ursula understood what the symbiote meant but having the bigger picture, Ursula concluded both were at fault.
You're right. Peter wanted to be free of responsibility. The symbiote smiled as its plan was set in motion.
But you forced him into it without asking for permission. Ursula berated the symbiote.
If you had revealed yourself or Peter didn't take you for granted then he wouldn't have separated from you.
The symbiote was confused and angry.
Then why did he feel that way if he didn't want it?
Because we want the best in everyone, even if we have to sacrifice our own happiness for others, Ursula explained to the confusing symbiote.
For the symbiote, it didn't make sense,
Why suppress something you want? Why hide who you are?
Ursula snorted at the last thought.
Then why did you hide yourself from Peter? You wanted a bond but couldn't show yourself?
The symbiote was taken back by Ursula's comment.
Then why don't you show us human emotions if you think what I did was wrong? Together we will become stronger.
No. I won't let you take over me like Pete, Ursula refused the offer.
Then say goodbye to Peter, the symbiote hissed as it was taking over her body once more.
I won't let you, Ursula claims as she resisted the influence.
The symbiote, frustrated by being so weak otherwise it would have easily taken over her by now.
Ursula managed to contain the symbiote as she settled their battle in her mind. Back in the real world, she was back in control. She was about to head over to Peter but as she allowed herself to take in the power bestowed by the symbiote.
This feels.. Mm ughh SO good, Ursula admitted as she touched the fabric.
No, Ursula, we have to get rid of it. Talking to herself.
Ursula hesitated, suddenly she wanted to keep it, she knew the symbiote was only weakened but was it already influencing her? Was she truly in control, Ursula hoped for the latter.
Going against her better judgment, she decided to keep the symbiote and not tell Peter. Hearing the pain, Peter suffered, defending NYC on his own. Ursula believed if she could control the symbiote, she could ease his responsibilities.
Wow, I look… beautiful Ursula commented to herself as she looked at herself in the mirror.
The symbiote hugged her body figure, showing off all the curves and enhanced her muscles and assets.
What about strength? Ursula was itching to test the rush of power she was feeling.
Let's lift the bed, holy! Ursula gasped as she easily lifted her bed with one hand as if it was a feather.
As she put down her bed, she tested her agility next.
Let's see, so if I bend down, jump and flip back, I should be able to do a backflip, Ursula talking to herself.
What happened instead as she underestimated her jumping power, she did a 180 and was standing upside down on the ceiling.
This feels so strange yet so cool, Ursula giggling.
But how do I unstuck myself? Suddenly her body relaxed and she fell down to her bed.
Whuw, that was lucky, Ursula referring to not waking up her dad.
Ursula looked at her window and there was only one ability left to try out but before she headed out, she needed a mask.
Reading her thoughts, Ursula felt the symbiote crawling over her face, it was an uncomfortable feeling but she held on as the symbiote tendrils finished forming the mask.
Hiding her hair beneath the horrific mask. She had a big maw with a large razor and uneven teeths with a long tongue and two intimidating white lenses where her eyes should be. Ursula was disgusted by it and wished for a change.
The symbiote moved again, reshaping the mask to be more like Spider-Man's mask.
That's better, Ursula thought as she walked towards the balcony.
Ursula gulped as she was afraid to fall to her death like a pancake.
Let's do this, Ursula tried to hype herself but quickly turned into discomfort as the symbiote made her speak in a terrifying voice.
Ignoring it for, as she mimicked Spider-Man's hand motion but to her disappointment, no web line.
What?Ursula was so confused, she tried different hand poses but still nothing. In frustration she flicked her hands and was taken by surprise as "black webs" came out from the back of her hands.
This doesn't feel like webbing tho, it feels more like an extension of the symbiote, Ursula noticed.
Ursula let herself be pulled by the black webs and slingshotted herself into the air before shooting another web.
This is amazing! Ursula yelled from the top of her lungs.
As she returned home from an amazing night tour of NYC, Ursula tried to take off the suit.
What the hell? Come on you suit, get off me! Ursula urged the symbiote as it was stuck to her body like glue.
Then she remembered how her mask was formed.
Ok, let's see if this works, Ursula imagined her night clothes.
Suddenly her suit started flowing and changing its textures to what she'd imagined.
This is going to save me so much money, Ursula talking to herself but also realizing she had been naked like Peter all this time.
Why does the alien rip our clothes? Ursula sighed as it had destroyed one of her essential outfits.
At least I'm not having that monstrous voice.
Time to head to bed, tomorrow's going to be a long day.
A few days later
In the last couple of days, Ursula stopped crimes at night while struggling to control the symbiote while keeping it a secret from everyone. Every day it got harder as the symbiote regained more of its strength.
At the same time, the symbiote watched on as its host used its power without sensing any malicious intent or jealousy. Only pure emotions of hope and justice. It couldn't comprehend them yet it felt a warm feeling as it watched on.
Ursula, wanting to give the symbiote, tried to convey her feelings and tried to make some connection but the symbiote did its best to ignore it, refusing to let go of its hatred.
Later that night, the news was broadcasted on every channel as Venom & Sandmang ganged up to kill Spider-Man, using MJ as bait.
Oh no, Pe.. Spider-Man, Ursula was clenching her hands really hard as she saw him getting beaten badly by Venom & Sandman.
I have to do something, Ursula urgently rushed out of her apartment.
Ursula, where are you going? Her father wondered why her daughter was in such a rush, this late at night.
Checking nobody was nearby, her clothes morphed into the symbiote suit and she immediately headed for the construction site.
I'm coming Peter, Ursula thought.
Construction site
Spider-Man slowly recovered from the fall and put on his mask when the noise of a falling truck could be heard. Looking up again, the black webs holding the truck was about to snap and fall onto MJ.
MJ jumped hoping for the best and managed to grab onto another set of black webs.
The truck crashed on the ground and one of its tires almost hit Spider-man.
HOLD ON MJ!, Spider-man yelled when suddenly the sand underneath dragged him along.
Sandman revealed himself as a giant as he slammed his giant fist towards Spider-man. Spider-man managed to dodge it.
AHHHH! Spider-man heard MJ scream.
MARY JANE! Spider-man feared the worst. His spider-sense tingles as he dodged another one of Sandman's attacks.
Spider-man used Sandman to slingshot his way up to MJ who fell again down a few layers of black webs. As he was about to reach MJ, Venom speared him.
Spider-man bounced around some steel beams before Venom came around again, kicking him to another steel beam.
Spider-man rose and turned around, sensing danger as Sandman grew bigger, looming over a paralyzed Spider-man.
Suddenly, Spider-man felt a string of black webs choking him as he forgot about Venom.
Sandman hit Spider-man like a hammer while Venom laughed at his demise. Sandman hit him again, causing vibrations and weakening the black webs above them.
The taxi was about to fall on MJ. Spider-man reached out his hand towards MJ.
As he got hit again, Spider-man couldn't take anymore hits, seemingly losing all his strength. Sandman was about to hit the final nail in the coffin when suddenly a small bomb stuck onto his head, making a ticking noise before it exploded.
At the same time, Ursula swung onto the scene, taking Venom by surprise as she kicked him, pushing him backwards slamming into concrete and temporarily knocking him out.
Both Harry and Spider-man looked at the woman wearing a similar black suit to Venom, wondering who she was.
Peter, are you ok? She asked Peter.
Peter recognized the voice. Ursula?
Then he looked at Harry. You came.
Harry reached out his hand, Spider-man grabbed his hand with Harry helping him up.
Looks like I just came in the nick of time, Harry said.
A couple of minutes ago, wouldn't have been so bad either, Spider-man jokes.
What can you do? Harry shrugged with a smile.
Guys, Ursula reminded them, they had enemies to defeat.
All three formed a circle, everyone covering each other's back as Sandman and Venom recovered.
I may need some help over here, Spider-man said as he prepared to fight Venom.
I'm a little busy right now! Harry responded, looking at Sandman.
Guys what do we do? Ursula showing her inexperience.
Venom rushed towards them.
Give me your hands! Harry commanded as both heroes grabbed his hands.
Harry spinned around while Spider-man and Ursula kicked their enemies. Sandman lost a bit of sand while Venom flew back towards the ceiling, hitting a steel beam and bounced down.
Harry burned Sandman using his glider, crystalizing his right hand in the process before Harry slammed into it, shattering his hand into several pieces of crystals.
Meanwhile in the audience, J.J called out for Peter.
Parker, Parker! need a photographer.
Hey kid, do you want a job? J.J asking the kid with the camera.
Why would I want a job? I'm just a kid, the girl asked.
Alright, how much for the camera? J.J asked as he dug up his wallet.
100 bucks.
100 bucks!? Alright you little crook as he handed her a 100 bucks to the girl.
As he began taking pictures, he realized the girl took out the film.
Films extra, the girls requested.
Annoyed, he dug up his wallet again.
Meanwhile, Harry and Spider-man circled around Sandman while Ursula kept Venom busy.
Pete, up top! Harry screamed as the black webs couldn't hold the weight of the taxi anymore.
MJ just managed role to the side, avoiding the falling taxi but the webs snapped and she was falling, screaming for her life.
This thing got anymore?!
Hang on, Harry said.
Hang onto what? Peter wondered what Harry meant.
Go buddy!
Got her! Peter confirmed as he jumped towards MJ, catching her and webbed onto Harry's glider before bringing her to safety while the people on the ground applauded at the heroics.
At the same time, Ursula was not faring well against Venom. Her symbiote was taking control as Venom punched her with ferocious attacks.
Who do we have here, a copycat?How cute,Venom laughed in irony.
Where did you get it!Venom demanded to get it back as he punched Ursula, pushing her back with full force flying through a wall.
Never! You don't deserve to have it, Ursula barely holding on.
Suddenly, several tendrils moved around sporadically, from her suit.
Not now, Ursula thought as the symbiote was taking back control.
Her arms reached out for Venom.
I see, Venom sensing what the symbiote wanted as he walks towards the beaten Ursula.
The symbiote left Ursula rapidly for one painful separation.
AAAGHHHH! Ursula screamed as she passed out.
You were never deserving of our power, Ursula heard the symbiote say as it reunited with the rest of its body.
HAHAHA, Venom laughed now knowing who the girl was.
Suddenly Venom felt the ground shaking as Sandman just got defeated.
Spider-man heard Venom's screams and was on high alert, trying to find him by following the noise. Venom grabbed him from above and once again slammed Spider-man into some more steel beams.
Venom webbed his hands as he grabbed a steel pipe and hit him in the face.
Never wound…. What you can't kill as the Venom opened up his mask, revealing Eddie's face.
Venom hit Spider-man twice, ripping off his mask in the process.
Eddie, the suit, you gotta take it off, Spider-man warned Eddie.
Oh, you'd like that wouldn't you? Eddie responded as he held the sharp pipe against Spider-man's face.
I know what it feels like. It feels good. The power. Everything. But you'll lose yourself. Let it go.
I like being bad, it makes me happy, Eddie smiled as he prepared to kill Spider-man. Suddenly two sharp objects sliced his forearms.
Harry rushed towards Venom, ready to stab him with his glider but Venom dodged and shot a black web at Harry's glider. Harry lost grip and hit his head on a steel beam.
As he fell, Harry crashed onto a dozen steel pipes. As each one fell on the floor, together they generated loud noises, visibly weakening Venom as several tendrils moved in pain.
As Spider-man watches Venom in pain, he gets a flashback to how he separated from the suit, giving him an idea.
Venom jumped towards Spider-man rushing in with Harry's glider, ready to stab him to death but it never came as Harry got in the way, sacrificing himself to save his best friend.
Harry! Spider-man screamed in shock before Venom casually threw Harry's lifeless body away, falling down a few floors.
Spider-man tried to cut loose from Venom's webs but they were too strong. Venom had enough, nobody was left to deny him of Peter's death.
Suddenly, Venom felt a painful noise as Ursula slammed one of the pipes. But it wasn't enough as Venom webbed Ursula towards himself and began shoking her to death.
ENOUGH, neither you or anyone will get in my way, Venom ranted in frustration.
Yo…u do..n't de..erve the symbiote. Ursula struggles for air.
And you do!? Everything you did was pathetic, thinking you could become a hero, helping the worthless spider.
Sy..m..iote, you caaa..nn be good, do…n't l.. t re…venge consume you, Ursula managed to say.
I know you hated me, you wanted nothing do with me, don't even bother lying, Venom said with a frustrated tone as he let go of the *dead* Ursula.
Venom turned his attention to Spider-man, still webbed as he was too weak to free himself.
Suddenly, Ursula slammed a pipe really hard and grabbed Venom while he was weakened. For a moment, Ursula and the symbiote connected. Venom stabbed Ursula in the stomach, puncturing her lungs.
URSULA NOOOOO! Spider-man screamed in anger as he used all of his remaining strength, getting free from the webs and began his plan.
Meanwhile, the piece of symbiote Ursula had been wearing felt regret. In the moment, Ursula and the symbiote connected briefly, Ursula showed her sincerity as she really believed in the symbiote and let it be known that if they weren't fighting each other, she would happily be its permanent host.
The symbiote was torn, it wanted revenge yet its time with Ursula woke something in it, an unfamiliar yet a warm feeling, it had never experienced before.
Venom screamed at Spider-man before he froze,
What's happening? Venom thought. Suddenly a portion of the symbiote left him and headed towards the dying Ursula.
Before Venom could do anything. Spider-man hit him with the pipes. Moving him towards where he wanted Venom to be and began slamming pipes onto the floor around Venom, forming a circle as the vibrations generated a very loud noise.
Both Eddie and the symbiote screamed in pain. Spider-man saw the chance to separate Eddie and pulled him out with his web. The symbiote tried to hold onto him but failed.
But as the sound stopped, the symbiote made an awful noise, sending chills down Spider-man's spine as it grew bigger. Peter looked in shock while Eddie smiled at his other.
Peter slammed the pipes before the symbiote had any chance of hurting him and took out a pumpkin bomb from Harry's glider.
Peter. What are you doing!? Eddie was just comprehending what he was about to do.
NOOOO! Eddie rushed towards the symbiote trying to save it but instead both died together by the explosion.
EDDIEEE! Spider-man tried to stop him but it was too late.
Spider-Man dropped the pipe in his hand. As he stood there, reflecting on what just happened. Sandman appeared out of nowhere.
I didn't want this, Sandman said.
Peter turned around to look Sandman in the eye, trying to understand if he heard it correctly.
But I had no choice, he continued.
We always have a choice. You had a choice when you killed my uncle, Peter said with watchful eyes and raising his tone at the last bit.
My daughter was dying. I needed money. I was scared. I told your uncle, all I wanted was the car… and he said to me: "Why don't you just put down your gun and go home"
I realized just now, he was just trying to help me. Then I saw my partner running over with the cash, Sandman paused for a moment before he continued.
And the gun was in my hand. I did a horrible thing to you. I spent a lot of nights, wishing I could take it back. I'm not asking you to forgive me… I just want you to understand.
I've done terrible things too, Peter said as he teared up.
Sandman looked down, hearing the police noise in the distance.
I didn't choose to be this, Sandman said as he looked at his necklace with a picture of his daughter.
The only thing that's left to me now is my daughter, Sandman's eyes becoming red.
I… forgive you, Peter finally letting go of his hatred and moving on.
Sandman nodded before he let the wind take him as he turned into millions of sand.
In the aftermath, Peter and MJ mourned Harry as the sun rose up on the horizon. Meanwhile Ursula had watched everything happen from the background as she was saved by the venom symbiote.
Feeling left out, Ursula was about to leave but then Peter saw and hugged her, happy she was alive until he noticed she was wearing the symbiote.
Ursula, we.. Ursula put her point finger on his lips.
I know what you're going to say but trust me, the symbiote wants to redeem itself. I'm going to make sure of it. It won't become like Venom and it will be saved, isn't that good enough?
Maybe because he was drained from the battle or mourning his best friend but Peter didn't feel like fighting and just trusted Ursula's words.
Let me know if the symbiote tries anything.
I promise Pete, Ursula nodded.
I'm sorry about Harry, if I had convinced the symbiote quicker, I could have saved him, Ursula feeling guilty.
Don't, Harry knew what he was doing and he wouldn't have anything else, Peter ensuring it was no one's fault.
Epilogue:
In the aftermath of Venom and Harry's deaths, Peter, MJ, Aunt May and Harry's family mourned him at his funeral. Peter and MJ reconciled their friendship but agreed to stay friends rather than lovers.
Meanwhile, Peter took in Ursula as his partner and mentoring her, teaching her how to use her powers responsibly and keeping a close eye on the symbiote, making sure it didn't take her over like it did to him.
Ursula and her other bond blossomed as Ursula gave it the love it needed. It didn't take long before they permanently bonded. At the same time, Peter was falling for Ursula, getting to know her better now they worked together (and the symbiote made her look extra beautiful). The symbiote looked better on her than it did on Peter. Ursula took upon Arachnia as her superheroine alter-go.
Eventually Peter confessed his love for Ursula and trusted the symbiote. Ursula couldn't believe it when he said, never thinking he would see her in that way. Their relationship went on to stay strong as both always made sure the other was happy.
Especially in bed as Peter first hand experienced, Ursula liked to be in control. He wasn't sure if it was the symbiote's doing or if Ursula genuinely liked being like that.
Together they went on to marry and have twins, one boy and one girl, living happily ever after.
The END.
Wow, I can't believe I actually managed to write a story that's longer than 1000 words. I always imagined stories about Ursula becoming Venom but never believed I would actually do it. I have for a long time thought Ursula is an underrated character in the Sam Raimi Spider-man movies and wished there were more stories about her.
Despite not having watched Spider-man 3 in years and only watching bits of it on Youtube for references on the dialogue for this fanfiction. I still think despite its flaws, It's my favorite in the trilogy, despite its convoluted story. 3 villains is too much for one movie.
As for this story, it went through a couple of reiterations. At one point, I imagined Ursula becoming Carnage instead of Venom or Ursula bonding the symbiote before it ever bonded to Eddie.
Not sure why I decided on this route, I'm just happy I managed to get it done. I will probably not write more fanfictions before the end of the year as I'm not sure what I would like to write.
Happy Christmas and Happy New Year!
