Previously on the Scarlet Spider
"Wait...Newbie?"
"I have experience, so I figure that the city could use another Spider-man."
"Aren't you a kid?"
"Where is Kraven?!?!"
"The young spider is Mine!"
"Is all of this just some kind of sick Joke?!"
"Turn yourself in and get your cult out of my city!"
"Kill me and this hunt of mine finishes. My men shall leave this city."
"The choice is yours to make..."
Flashback Continues
Y/N grips the spear tighter as he looks down at Kraven, processing the choice he was given. "Wh...what?"
Kraven snarls "Come on child! This is what you seek! To rid your city of my men. I have provided the means of doing so! All it takes is the blood of one man on your hands!"
Peter steps up "No Spider-man! This isn't what it means to be Spider-man. We may take down the criminals, but we have no right to judge them. We're not judge, jury, or executioner."
Kraven looks at Peter "He's right...they are not killers."
He then looks back at Y/N "But you...you're different. I felt it in your strikes. The rage, the wrath that consumed you. You wanted to end me, didnt you?"
He uses his elbows to sit up further, having the tip of the spear make contact with his neck. Due to this, there is a small opening of blood on the man's neck as a single drizzle of blood runs down to his collar bone.
The man smiles "Your hunt is just starting. You have the strength, speed, but more importantly the rage of a beast. A beast that is far greater than me. Prove it!"
He grabs the spear and lowers it to the center of his chest "SHOW ME! SHOW MY MEN WHY YOU'RE MY FINAL HUNT! DON'T BE WEAK! BE LIKE ME!!"
Y/N eyes widen in shock, his entire mind processing what he is hearing from the man. A chance to end all of this. To prevent further damage. To prevent further loss of life. And all he has to do is end Kraven.
End him and all this can be over.
End him and his parents may no longer be in danger because of him.
End him and no one else has to die.
Y/N lifts the spear over his head, intending following through, still hesitant however as his hands start to shake.
"NO!!!"
Y/N stops and turns to see Peter step up "I understand the anger that's going through you."
Peter clenches his fist "When I lost my aunt due to devil's breath, I felt nothing but rage. Hatred for the men responsible. I want to kill them! Make them pay for the lives lost during that pandemic."
"But getting revenge would not bring them back. And killing Kraven here, no matter how much the monster deserves it, will not fix the damages caused."
Kraven snarls at the older hero "You say such things that a coward would!"
Kraven looked back "Don't listen to him! You're stronger than him! Don't listen to his lies!"
Y/N's head fills with so many different messages, both from his mentor and his enemy. Both making good point.
Kraven is right, should he live, more death and chaos will follow, and they could lose the city.
Peter is also right, ending Kraven will not fix the damages that had happened. It won't bring those who have died because of him.
In the end, he only had one single question to ask himself.
Would Kraven do the same?
Y/N tightens his grip on the staff and raises it higher aiming the spearhead upwards, closer to Kraven's face. With a mighty roar, he brings the spear down.
"NOOO!!" Mj screams before looking away, expecting to hear the nasty sound of metal hitting flesh and bone.
Instead of that, she heard something sharp into the dirt below their feet.
She quickly looks up and sees the scene in front of her and the others watching. The scene is silent except for the pound rain outside the aviary and the flames that consume the building.
Y/N had impaled the dirt next to Kraven's head.
Kraven was shock and enraged, but not before feeling something wet on his face. He reaches his hand up and wipes the wet spot. Feeling a sharp pain from his cheek, he looks at his hand and he notices blood on his fingers.
Mid stab, the spear tip had sliced Kraven's cheek open. Looking up at the young hero, he sees Y/N's lenses glare at him.
"You're wrong Kraven. I'm no killer. I'm no beast. And I'm most certainly not your Final Hunt!"
Kraven Growls "How dare you? You choose to be a coward? A weakling who is stuck in a never ending cycle of false victories over his prey!"
Y/N clenches his fist "That's where your also wrong Kraven. To show mercy to a foe trying to kill me doesnt make me weak. Quite the opposite in fact."
He squats down "If i bested you, while you fought at your maximum and I still showed you mercy, it means I'm stronger than you."
He then stands and then webs him to the floor "You're the coward who believes in such a stupid simplistic viewpoint. Its more complicated than that, and if you can't see it, then you're beyond any kind of help."
He then looks at Kraven's men "Anyone else wants a piece?"
They all stood their shocked and afraid. Both at the strength of the spider and the courage he had to call Kraven a coward to his face.
One of them slowly raises his arms up in surrender, and soon another, and another, as if a domino effect happens in front of their eyes.
Y/N nods before turning to Peter and the others "Spider-man call the cops, and get me some ice."
The teen then chuckles before he grunts in pain as the three heroes quickly rush over to him to check up on him.
Mj chirps up "Y/N that was amazing! I honestly thought that you were going to kill him!"
Peter chimes in "I did too. I wouldn't have blamed you if you did. If that had happened to MJ, I wouldnt know how I would handle it."
Y/N closes his eyes and laughs "Thanks for the vote of confidence guys. I mean, I couldnt disappoint my mentor here, and I didn't even have the job long enough."
Harry approaches him "Well from what I saw, you were pretty badass man."
Y/N turns to him "Oh thanks...you..."
Peter speaks up "Oh yeah, I guess with all that's happened you wouldnt have met him."
He then coughs "Harry this is Y/N, my student in Spider class, and Y/N, this is Harry, my best friend."
"Is he also Spider-man?" Y/N asks
Harry speaks up "Actually I was thinking of the name for our group."
Peter groans "Harry please don't-"
"The Spider Pals." Harry says confidently and full of pride.
His two oldest friends cringe at that while Y/N smiles "Well its more creative than what he has us calling ourselves." he finishes, gesturing his head to Peter
The older spider pouts "Come on, it's simple and easy!"
"Yeah but it gets confusing! We should have our own names." the teen argues.
Harry pats his back "I like him already."
Peter brings his head down "Great now I have two of them."
Mj giggles as he notices the damage on Y/N "I can't believe you're still standing. How is that possible?"
Peter looks at his wounds "Well it could be the adrenaline rush in his body right now. Although a lot of these are going to need stitches, and I doubt your body will be able to maintain that adrenaline high before it wears off."
Y/N grumbles "Great, more pain."
As the heroes talk, Kraven notices the scene and is getting infuriated.
'How dare they just mock and laugh as if we are children?!?! I am not a child! I am a hunter! A Warrior!'
He then glares harder at Y/N 'And that boy has humiliated me! Treated my life's work and journey as a joke! He ridicule me."
Slowly his body begins to increase in size 'I will not allow a child to mock me! To Humialte me!'
He then looks behind him to his men who have surrendered 'And these cowards, they vowed to stand by my side and follow me to greatness, however they freeze under pressure! WEAKLINGS ALL OF THEM!!!!'
The webs break apart as he gets up quickly and grabs the spear and sprints towards the heroes.
Peter and Y/N spider senses go off as the 4 heroes turn and notice Kraven close to them.
Y/N is the only one that react in time as pushes MJ to the side and Peter back since Harry was far enough to not get hurt. However he isnt able to react fast enough as the feral man extends his spear towards the teen.
The spear head goes all the way through Y/N from his chest and protruding from his back. Time freezes for everyone as Peter, Mj, and Harry's eyes widen in shock as not even a minute ago, they were just joking around with the teen, to now witnessing him recieve a fatal injury.
Y/N gasps as the full force of the blow forces him to try to breathe, only for him to suddenly feel the rush of blood before coughing, blood and salvia coming out his mouth but hitting his mask.
He falls to his knees as Kraven grasps his shoulder "YOU COULD HAVE BEEN WORTHY!!! YOU COULD HAVE BEEN THE PLANEST GREATEST HUNTER! BUT INSTEAD YOU CHOOSE TO COWER AND SHOW MERCY!!"
He twists the blade as Y/N begins to grunt and squirm slightly due to pain.
"AAH- A- AHHH!"
Kraven would normally enjoy the look and sound of a prey in pain and by his hand. However instead this infuriated him even further.
Quickly, he breaks the handle off the spear, leaving the pointed head of weapon stuck in the boy. Kraven proceeds to move his hand to the boys neck and lift him up "You lifted my spirits, only to make them crash into the ground. How rodent like of you.."
Suddenly a rock is thrown in his eye. He roars in pain before glaring at who did that.
Mj was standing there, with another stone in her hand.
Suddenly a web and a tendril hit his body as he turns and looks at who did it. He sees the older Spider-man and the other hero he brought with him standing there.
"You'll suffer for what you've done!" Harry shouts in anger as the tendrils of his suit rise along with his anger.
"You're going to pay Kraven!" Peter shouts as 4 robotic spider arms appear from his back.
Kraven looks at the scene unimpressed and disappointed. "None of you are worth it.
Quickly he turns and throws Y/N out in the opposite direction, causing the teen to fly out the aviary causing both Peter and Mj to shout "NOOOO!"
The tendrils on Harry's suit suddenly surge in anger as the young man becomes consumed in Rage.
Kraven raises an eyebrow "Interesting. You're new."
He turns to face the two heroes, before suddenly he feels a sharp pain in his chest. His eyes widen in shock before he falls on one knee, confusing everyone.
'Impossible.! Despite the wounds, the rage I gained should allow my quirk to continue! How is it possible that-'
His eyes widen as a realization hit him. During the battle in the roof with Y/N, when he was struck hard on the chest when pissing off the young hero.
'His anger caused him to hit me in the chest with enough force to slow me down! Damn it, even in death, he is still challenging me! How despicable.'
Kraven's body suddenly shrinks as he reaches for his pocket "That child managed to tire me out. That is impressive. Had he gone though with my death, he would have been a worthy sucessor."
Peter clenches his fist as he talks nonchalantly about his student "MJ, get to Y/N now, we need to make sure that he's ok. We may not have a lot of time left. Try to help him."
She didnt need to be told twice as she runs in the direction that Kraven threw the boy at.
Kraven chuckles "He won't survive. The nearest hospital is far from here, you wont be able to get him there and stop me."
He stands as he pulls out a small detonator "As if I would even give you a chance."
Peter shoots a web at it, but it was too late. By the time the web reached Kraven's hand, he had already pushed the button. Suddenly multiple explosions at the base of the Aviary glass suddenly appear. This caused the entire foundation to shake.
Before Harry and Peter could process what had happened, a long black rope landed in front of Kraven as grab it, before suddenly being pulled up onto one of his invisible cruisers.
The hunters in the aviary tried to follow before Kraven summoned another spear and threw it in front of them. The hunters looked at it then back to Kraven confused, before it started beeping rapidly, until suddenly it exploded, killing them, pieces of fur and body parts flying all over.
Harry's eyes widen "He killed them all without hesitation."
Peter pushes Harry "And he'll kill us if we don't move!" Quickly the two heroes sprint for the exit, with pieces of metal support and glass falling around them.
As they escaped, Kraven looked at the 4 before letting out a sigh "Another disappointment."
He then walks to the pilot "Take his back to base, and prepare the fires. The lizard creature is out there."
The pilot nods as the air cruiser slowly begans to cloak itself, with any chances of the spiders to find it being swiftly taken.
Peter and Harry manage to find Mj and Y/N who had landed in the pit where they had held Connors before they tried to escape.
MJ had put Y/N head in her lap as tears fell from her eyes, trying her best to put a lot of pressure on his chest wound.
Peter and Harry run towards Mj, with the former sliding on the ground to reach the two quicker.
As Peter was kneeling next to Y/N's body, he quickly tears his mask off, to get a good look at his wound.
The spear was still in there, probably the only thing keeping him from bleeding out even faster. The worst part was that it was directly on his heart, most likely impaling the organ. Even if Kraven had missed, the heart would still have been damaged.
He then hears Y/N let out a wet cough. Quickly reacting, he tears the teens mask off, just in time for blood to come out and land on Peter's face. This causes the hero to suddenly freeze as his blood runs cold.
MJ's eyes widen in fear "We need to get him to a hospital!"
Peter still stares in shock as he reaches his hand up to touch his face. Bringing it back down, he notices his hand with drops of Y/N's blood.
He then starts to see someone else in Y/N's position as his vision clears. An older woman, who looked pale and tired. She wore a red shirt and had tubes in her nose. Her most distinct features were her reddish hear and the look of an age woman who was ready to help anyone.
'May' Peter thinks as tears begin to slowly pour from his eyes.
Suddenly he is shaken out of his thoughts "Pete you alright man?" Harry asks him, putting a hand on his shoulder.
Peter suddenly realizes where he was and what was happening quickly shakes his head.
"I'm fine!" He states, quickly putting on his mask.
He then gently lifts Y/N up making sure to hold him in his arms as it was the best position to do so. Carrying over his shoulder was out of the question as the juggling and swinging can put him into shock. While Harry's tendrils could carry him, they still dont know how much they can handle, or if he would be fast enough to carry him.
Peter stands holding Y/N in his arms "Let's move, Harry you carry MJ."
Harry nods in response as MJ jumps onto Harry's back, for both the best comfort for her and the fact that Harry can not swing a web.
Peter gets a nod from Harry, showing him that he's ready before Peter starts sprinting as fast as he could back to New York, once back there, he can use his gadgets, like his spider arms to better maneuver around the city.
It took Peter and Harry almost 10 minutes before they reach the city lights. The hero then leaped off the ground as hard as he can on the first building he saw, to reach the roof. Harry does the same, following is lead. As Peter jumps roof to roof, he listens to Y/N's grunts of pain to indicate that he was still conscious and alive.
It may hurt him, but this mode of travel was the best course to keep him stable.
After what felt like 3 minutes of continued running, Y/N ceased in his grunts of pain.
Peter stops once realizing this "Nonononononono! Please don't do this Y/N."
He quickly lays Y/N to the ground as he puts his finger on the boys neck. Harry seeing this stops as MJ let's go and runs next to Peter.
Peter pulls his hand away in a panick, quickly tearing open the remains of Y/N tank top and begins doing chest compressions
"Please! You can't do this to us! No!" Peter's voice begins to crack as tears well up under his mask.
Mj quickly kneels next to Peter "What can I do?"
Peter looks at her "Give him mouth to mouth! I got to try and restart his heart, make sure he is getting oxygen!"
He then turns to his friend and shouts, emotion filling tone "Harry!"
His best friend kneels on the other side of him "What do you need from me?" He responds, voice slowly rising to a panic level.
"You have your phone right?"
Harry nods as Peter quickly instruct him "I need you to contact Miles, tell him to bring any medical supplies that he can and to hurry! His number is-"
As Peter continues to instruct Harry, MJ focuses on trying to make sure air gets into Y/N as fear fills her mind 'This can't be happening! Not to him of all people'
She gets back up, and looks at Peter 'This was something that always scared me when it was just Peter. That one day, he wouldn't come back. That he would be dying alone in some alley.'
She takes another deep breath and continues to apply CPR to Y/N 'What if he doesn't come out of this? What will happen to Peter? To Miles?'
Harry proceeds to nod as he walks away to allow the couple to focus.
Its silent for a minute until they hear Harry begin to talk on the phone, until Peter let's out a choked son "I did this MJ..."
The girl looked to see her boyfriend take his mask off and continue with the compressions "I brought him into this life. I told him that we could use another Spider-man. I put his life at risk. If he dies, then it's my fault."
Tears poor down the hero's face as his mind begins to wonder into the criticims of many people. Sabel when she hated him. Jameson on the newspaper and his podcast. Otto when the neural link corrupted them.
MJ snaps at him "No it's not! I understand that you're upset, but we can't afford to be! I'm scared too, but we have to be strong!"
Peter doesn't reply as they continue trying to stabilize the teen.
Harry runs back to the pair "Ok he's on his way, he should be here in about 4 minutes."
Peter stands "We may not have the time!"
He tries to think of an idea as the memories of the fight also enter his mind. How did he let things get this bad so fast?!
Then he remembered how Kraven was shocking Y/N as an idea popped in his head.
Quickly his summoned his spider arms as they begin to charge up.
"Peter what are you doing?" Mj asks catiously
"If I can restart his heart, maybe that'll buy us enough time for Miles to get here! Maybe even help us bring him back!"
Harry stands steps closer to him "Are you sure that'll work? Can your tech even work like that?"
Peter kneels as he has the tips of the spider arms press against Y/N's torso "I have no clue, however if I can concentrate the power output into these 4 specific points, then maybe I can restart his heart."
"Wouldn't that kill him?" Harry asks hesitantly
Peter shakes his head "No. When designing this upgrade to the arms, I made sure that the maximum output would never exceed a certain limit, with the arms shutting down if it does unless I manually deactivate the safeguards. Add the fact that Y/N is superhuman, this should either work and get his heart pumping again, or fail. We've got nothing to lose now!"
The arms power up as a light blue light shines dimly before electricity pours through the metallic arms as the energy enters Y/N's body, causing him to seize up slightly before the energy dissipates and his body calms down.
"MJ!" Peter shouts.
Quickly understanding, she quickly checks his pulse.
Shaking her head, she looks at Peter "Nothing!" She shouts worryingly.
"Damn! Ok again!" Peter reactivates his arms as they once again try to restart Y/N's heart.
Once the energy dissipates, Mary Jane checks his pulse once more. She shakes her head "No..."
Peter growls "Again!"
Once more, energy enters the boys body, only to quickly recede back as Mary Jane checks again.
Not feeling anything, she quickly puts her hands to the ground and cries, not letting anyone take a good look at her face.
Peter begins to tear up further "Harry!"
His best friend looks at him as Peter begins to shake "Underneath the symbol on my back, there is a control system there! I need you deactivate the safe guards!""
MJ stands as she walks to Peter and holds his suit as she cries on his chest, letting out a sob "Peter!"
Peter ignores her "I'll guide you through it. We have to be quick. We don't have any time lef-"
"Pete!" MJ sobs out as the man tries to remove her
"MJ, please let go, we need to hurry. I can't-"
"He's Gone Pete!" She interrupts her boyfriend with a loud cry!
Those words hit Peter like a truck as he stops trying to remove her. Tears falling down his face landing on his girlfriends head, but neither one of them cared.
They both fall to the floor as Harry looks down in pain. While the new hero didnt know the kid well, he knew well enough that he didnt deserve to die. Not at the age he was.
Harry slams his fist on the floor "DAMN IT!!" He screams out.
Peter sees this and cries harder "It's my fault..."
MJ cups her boyfriends cheeks "Pete, you tried to save him!"
"But it was my fault that he even is Spider-man! I never gave him an option or a real choice to be Spider-man. I assume that he was like Miles, someone who would want to be Spider-man." Peter counters, his fist clenching as hard as he could to hurt himself , as if punishing himself.
"Peter you gave a him a choice. He choose to be like you because you inspired him. He want to be just like you." Mj tries to reasons with him.
Peter closes his eyes "Maybe I shouldn't have. If I wasnt for me, he would only be worrying about high school girls or grades or or even sports."
He stares at his hands as he mutters to himself "What am I going to tell his parents.
MJ stays quiet. As much as she wanted to hold and comfort him, she knew how he was when he was like this. Like with Uncle Ben, Jefferson Davis, Aunt May, and others he couldnt save, this would be another thing weighing on his consciousness.
Harry looks to the side to see Y/N's mask, using his tendrils he picks it up and walks to the couple "Miles is coming still. Should we...you know?"
He then gestures to the mask and to Y/N's body. Peter nods as backs his head away from MJ's hands "Yes. We don't want Miles to see him like this. Let me se-"
"No Peter, let me. You don't have to." Mj counters, also upset from the recent events.
Peter looks at her "No, I have to be the one to do this. If it should be anyone, it should be his mentor."
He reaches for the mask, but Mj grabs his wrist "Another reason why you shouldnt be doing this. You're already in enough pain, let me."
Harry speaks up "The same goes for you MJ. You two were close to him. While it isnt ideal, let me. You guys lost a friend. I...wasnt much help, at least allow me to make sure you don't burden yourselves any further."
The couple look at each other in silence as if reading each others mind before looking back at Harry and nodding.
"Thank you Harry, I owe you." Peter says somberly.
Harry nods "Considering how much you've helped me in the past, I still owe a few."
He then walks over to the boys body as he hears MJ speak to Peter quietly, most likely trying to cheer the hero up.
He makes it over to Y/N and slowly puts his mask on
"I'm sorry man." He mutters quietly. He grabs his head and starts to put the mask back on.
"You were too young for this. You didn't deserve to die like this. I will thank you for protecting Peter though. Had it not been for you moving him and MJ back, or even you protecting him when he got in Kraven's face, it could have been here instead of you. That bastard will pay for this." He finishes putting the mask back on the boys face.
He then feels a weird movement around his arm. Looking down, he notices a black tendril heading towards the boy, before connecting to Y/N's body. Soon, he feels the suit begin to disconnect from his own body.
"Uh Guy?!?!" He shouts, uncertain of what is happening.
Peter and MJ hear this and run over to him quickly making it to their friends side seeing the black goo begin to cover Y/N body.
Peter looks at Harry "Harry what did you do?!"
Harry looks back equally confused "I don't know! I put the mask back on and suddenly my suit came off and did that!"
The goo continued to cover Y/N body, starting from around his torso, and slowly covering his legs and arms, until all that was left was the head. Quickly the goo wrapped itself around the boy's skull, covering it as suddenly a silhouette of white began to form, albeit blurry.
Suddenly the blurriness fades as the suit clears out to reveal a darken Spider-man suit over Y/N's body, with a white long spider symbol that connects to something on his back and his mask had only white lenses on it.
The group stare at the boy and the suit in shock as everyone holds their breath.
Suddenly his mask lenses widen.
Y/N wakes up in a dark place, nothing but pitch darkness in his viewpoint. He looks down and sees himself in his regular costume.
He found this where as he had a faint memory of removing it, although he doesnt remember why.
He also could have swore he could hear muffle shouting that kind of sounded like Peter, but he couldnt confirm.
He walked around the area, but it felt like nothing was happening.
He shouts "IS ANYONE THERE?!?!"
"HELLO?!?!"
"PANCAKES AND WAFFLES ARE OVERRATED?!?!"
No sound excited the echos of his voice as he screams into the abyss.
"Damn that last one usually has people react violently. Where am I?" he speaks to himself as he walks around the area, before feeling something wet.
He looks down to see the outline of a puddle of some sorts, but there is no water.
He slowly begins to sink into the ground, he tries to move, however he begins to sink faster.
Suddenly he feels something grab a hold of his leg before being pulled downward harshly into the puddle. As his vision darkens, he sees one blurry object before everything goes black.
It appeared to be a white and long spider symbol.
Y/N's eyes widen as he suddenly sits up from his position before violently coughing. He could feel someone pat his back a bit before he finally stopped.
He looked around to see that he was on a roof top "Where am I?! What happened?!"
He starts to look around before feeling a hand on his shoulder. Looking he sees Peter's face, full of tears before being hugged tightly. He suddenly feels another body press against him. Looking over, he sees MJ also hugging him, letting out hiccups.
He looked around confused until he notices a figure there. A redheaded man wearing a grey shirt and blue jeans.
He looks around confused "Uh...did I miss something?"
Peter gets off, wiping his face "More than you know."
MJ gets off him along with Peter "Are you ok? How do you feel?"
As Peter helped him up, Y/N answers "I'm doing good. Feel ok. My chest feels a little heavy though."
As if on command, his new suit suddenly shifted and moved around his chest, which startled everyone. An opening was created on his chest which then everyone notices a grey thing coming from there.
It begins to move out, before Y/N freezes, feeling a shuddering feeling before the suit brings out the grey thing.
Everyone's eyes widen as they see what it is before the tendrils drop the object.
It was the tip of Kraven spear. The same one that was used to stab Y/N in the chest.
Y/N looks up at everyone "D...Did I-"
Peter shakes his head "I don't know. But right now, you're ok and that's all that matters."
Y/N only nods as he takes a further look at the suit. He noticed a white symbol on the chest that kinda looked familiar and he noticed as if the suit was armored, around his chest, abs, and biceps. He felt them as was shock to see that they felt like armor, but it didnt feel like anything was there.
MJ seeing this, agrees with Peter "That's right! Although we should probably head someone more..."
She gestures to the entire roof top "Private."
Peter nods "That's right. We can head back to the house."
Harry speaks up "Or, we could head towards our totally cool lab where we got equipment to make sure that our patient is ok." he states tapping Y/N shoulder, trying to get the mood back up.
Peter grins "Right I forgot. Damn, I can say I have a lab now!"
Y/N raises in eyebrow "You do? You got a job?!?! That's amazing man!"
Peter then has a realization. Ever since the incident with his parents and looking for Kraven, Y/N wouldnt have had time to catch up with him or the others, so he doesn't know.
"I'll explain on the way, as soon as Miles gets he-"
Suddenly a thud was heard on the roof. Everyone then looks over to see Miles running with a backpack
He runs to the group, rummaging through his bag without looking up "OK I GOT GAUZES, STICHES, ALCHOHOL, AND TWEEZERS, HOWEVER WE'LL NEED TO HURRY BEFO-" he stops noticing everyone standing there.
"Hey where Y/N?" he asks, noticing not only Harry, but a guy in a black slimy suit.
The guy in the slime suit raises a hand "Yo!"
Miley's lenses widen as he walks over "That you man?! Jeez what is that on you? And why does it look...sludgy?" he says about to poke the suit.
Peter speaks up "We'll discuss it on the way, right now we need to move. I'll take MJ"
He looks over at Y/N "Think you can take Harry? You kinda stole his wardrobe."
Y/N nods "Yeah!"
He then looks at Harry "Ok bud, hope on the Y/N express."
Harry walks over "Don't go to fast please, I don't do well with piggyback rides."
"No promises."
Before Harry could retort, Peter jumps off with MJ on his back, with Y/N jumping far off the roof with Harry.
Miles is left confused before looking down at the tip of the spear "Man, why does it feel like I missed out on alot?"
Quickly grabbing the spear and putting it in his backpack, he jumps off the roof, following the spiders to their location.
Flashback ends
It wasnt until we got to Emily-May Foundation did I get the entire story. I had died. The suit that Harry was wearing had bonded to me and saved my life.
We did tests once we got there and made a shocking discovery. The wounds on my body, my cuts and bruises, plus the puncture wound on my heart were healed, most likely thanks to the suit.
However Harry had a genetic disease. One that killed his mother and was passed down to him. The suit was the only thing that was preventing him from getting sick.
The same suit that left him and now was on me.
I tried to transfer it back to Harry as best as I could. I even tried tearing the suit off myself, but it wouldnt budge.
Harry would then tell us that a scientist of Dr.Connors had been the man behind the suit, however that's when we ran into 2 issues.
One issue came from the fact that Kraven had transformed him back into the Lizard. Kraven would have most likely have gone after him had it not been for us intervening. So we had to find him.
Another issue came in the form of the serum. Whatever Kraven injected Connors with, we couldn't reuse the old antidotes, so that meant getting the one from Kraven, who made a necklace out of it and put it on right before I showed up.
Thanks to the spear piece that Miles brought with him, we had a lead to a pawn shop that might tell us where he would be hiding out.
I was excited and ready for action when Peter stopped me. He told me that he had to bench me, saying that they didnt need all 3 of us, before he and Miles left.
I felt hurt that they would bench me.
MJ tried to calm me down and had me and Harry stay in the same location that way we could transfer the suit easier. At first the wait wasnt hard, however once they had a location of Kraven, I decided to leave to join them, knowing full well how Kraven operated.
MJ tried to stop me, however I was able to get passed her and left, making my way to a church.
While I didn't get an exact location, the suit...guided me. It was as if my senses evolved into a homing beacon of where I needed to go. As if I was tracking something or someone.
It wasn't just my senses that changed. The suit made me stronger, faster, and it even provided me with it's own unlimited webbing. It shot of differently too. Instead of it being on the bottom of my palm, it came from below the back of my hand, which made aiming so much easier.
Once I got to the church I notice mutiple hunters around the area taking a look at mutiple knocked out hunters.
This gave me an opportunity to test out more of the suits capabilities. The suit reacted to my very thoughts, such as protecting me from bullets, catching arrows, or even grabbing mutiple hunters before slamming them into the ground.
After the group was taken care of, I entered the church to see Kraven battling Peter and Miles. I quickly jumped in to help, however instead of taking him down, this seemed to Excite Kraven further once he realized I survived.
He activated his quirk once more and we fought. However, unlike last time, he wasn't even half the challenge he was and we were able to get the serum.
However I didnt stop, I continued to fight him, to beat him. He did deserve it after all.
As he tried to escape, Peter got in my way and we had no choice but to let him go before the authorities arrived.
During the swing back, he would berate me on my recklessness of leaving Harry and MJ behind. I argued back to him that had it not been to me, he or Miles could have been hurt.
Miles stopped us from arguing but I felt a sense of deep anger.
Little did I know that some of that anger was being amplified by the suit.
Getting back to the lab, Miles, MJ, and I headed out, with Miles and I needing to focus on school and MJ needed to focus on her job.
Before school, I went to visit my parents in the hospital. While my father was Asleep, my mother was awake. She was worried about me the entire time as she wasnt told that I visited, which I did, but not as me, but as Spider-man.
I felt bad. I hurt her and I couldn't protect her or my father. She held my cheek as I felt bad for not seeing her. She would kiss my forehead and call me her little prince.
As if reacting, the symbiote sends a chill up my spine, but I shake the feeling off. These moments of family were all I needed.
Before I could talk anymore, I got a message from Peter which informed me of what happened.
The Emily Foundation was destroyed, but they were able to create the cure, with a little trouble since Peter had to be extra careful with repairing a partical accelerator. The hunters showed up and destroyed everything in the lab, thankfully both of them were safe.
I was shaking before I lied to my mom saying that I wasnt feeling too good mentally and that I needed to stay home today. I thought she would protest, but she understood and let me go.
After leaving leaving the hospital, I quickly suited up and went off into the city. During my swing, I felt my fears and self hatred rise. Why did the hunters attack? Was it my fault? Did I bring more bad than good? Was it a bad thing to hold back against Kraven?
I felt myself getting more upset, when a sudden sense of euphoria entered my body. It felt like my mom was hugging me tightly again, even when she wasnt here. I didnt want to let go.
Suddenly Peter contacts me. He informs me that the lizard was found in a fishery. He told me that Miles was on his way there. The feeling disappears as I quickly rush over to find him.
When I get there, my sense helps me find Miles and I quickly make my way through scaring the guy.
We travel through the fishery before having the Lizard escape from the floor and run off. We quickly make chase with Hunters also following us. We were nearly killed mutiple times, but the moment Peter came in, we were able to keep this up.
However during the fight, an explosion happened, which forced us to choose between chasing the Lizard and helping people. Naturally, we chose the latter.
While we saved the civilians, I got upset at the fact that our one chance of saving Harry just slipped through my fingers and I wasn't fast or strong enough to make a difference.
Thankfully Miles saved us by telling us that he saved the tracker.
Quickly the three of us continued on to find Connors.
It lead us through a sewer before discovering a secret underground Oscorp lab where the Lizard once again caught us off guard.
This lead to a chase through the city with Peter having me on civilian duty once Kraven and his men showed up. While I was making sure that innocent people weren't hurt in the crossfire, the Lizard through a car towards a child. I got there as quick as I could, however I was too slow as a piece of glass cut the child's arm. Seeing this my vision went red.
The next thing I know after I had gotten the kid to her parents, I had chased the Lizard onto the roof and forced him from the roof through the ground, with Kraven letting off explosions, trying to kill both of us in the process.
Peter and Miles entered the sewers with me as we had the Lizard trapped and we fought.
During this fight I was enrage and I didnt pull any of my punches. I punished the Lizard for hurting that child along with so many others.
At the time, it felt good, to break its arm, to slam it's head into a generator, to force it through hot steam.
After the fight, Peter and Miles were shocked at my display. And so was I. I felt sick to my stomach. Sure I was brutal with Kraven, but he deserved it since he felt no remorse for who he hurt.
Connors was man and I give him a worse punishment than what I gave Kraven.
I quickly got out of the sewers and swung throughout the city.
It was after that when I would begin to lose myself to the suit.
Flashback
Y/N quickly swings onto the Chrysler building as his mask peels back to let the boy's face through.
As he lands on all fours, he quickly pukes up his breakfast onto the ground. The memories of the fight with the Lizard entering his mind.
How brutal he was.
How the screeches of pain sounded like coming from him.
But most importantly of all, how he enjoyed it.
It made him sick. How could he do that? Connors had no control of that form. He didn't deserve it.
Or...did he?
Y/N eyes widen as that thought enters his head.
Connors had chosen to make the serum in the first place. He had decided that being a human guenni pig was a good idea. Plus that lizard had hurt that girl, who did nothing wrong in the first place.
Y/N could see the point that his mind was trying to make. Why would Connors think that making him some sort of lab rat could help, it was a bad idea from the start.
Y/N shakes his head 'This is wrong. I'm Spider-man! He wanted to do good, but he wasnt careful enough. I shouldnt be thinking like this...'
Tears fall from is eyes 'R...right?'
Those thoughts continued.
If it wasnt for him quickly putting him through the floor, the lizard could have done so much damage. Sure there is collateral damage, but if you save a person's life, that should be the least of their concerns.
Add the fact that he was only able to do with the suit. It helped him. Help them out. The suit made him fast enough to save that girl. Strong enough to beat the lizard. Powerful and better.
Heck if he took on Kraven right now, he wouldn't even get sneaked attack, he would take him out, there and then!
Y/N begins to cry as he shouts to himself "Stop it! Stop It! What is going on. Why am I thinking this! A hero should be merciful! I shouldn't be angry that Connors transformed, I should be happy that he is fine..."
He looks at his hands as more memories of him brutalizing Connors enter his head.
"Am I...not good enough to be Spider-man? Am I too selfish? Evil?" He grips his chest as memories of him torturing hunters came to his mind.
"Spider-man would never do that! I...I am..."
Before his mind could continue to spiral, a sudden wave of euphoria enters his body, calming him down. The tears dry up as his stomach growls
He shakes his head "I need a hot dog."
He jumps off the roof, but not before a small voice so quiet that not even he could register it.
'You'll be safe. No one will ever hurt you ever again. Not Kraven. Not Connors. Not even You. I promise...Little Brother...'
Flashback Ends
It was after this when things became to head to a downward spiral. MJ needed a front page article and chose to do the hunters. She tried to shift the blame onto Kraven as he was causing mayhem, however Jameson completely used it to make us look bad.
People hated me. Add the fact that Peter and Miles had chastised me, I felt alone.
I couldn't bear to look at my parents, with me believing that they would despise me all the same.
Later that night, I was attack by Kraven and his goons inside the old Fisk building.
That's when the symbiote took control of him.
Flashback
Kraven is seen being thrown towards the edge of the roof, with a small barrier stopping him from falling off. Before he could recover, a tendril wraps around his throat and quickly pulls him. He takes a look around in his surrounding.
Bodies of hunters lay across the floor, some webbed, others barely hanging off the roof. Pieces of robots parts all over the place and pieces of an air cruiser that he came in as it hung off the side of the building.
As Kraven got closer, he activated his quirk and quickly punched Y/N in the jaw, but he was unfazed as the boy using the tendrils of the suit quickly covered Kravens torso as he jumped high in the air, before coming back down, using Kraven body to slam through the roof.
As they enter the top floor, while in midair, Y/N quickly threw Kraven at a pillar, having the man go through it as he rolls on the floor, hurt and bruised, letting out a winded cough.
"You're done Kraven." Y/N speaks, but something was different. His voice was echoey, it had a sound of snarling to it, and it sounded feminine?
Kraven stood confused as he looked to where Y/N would have landed, only to see him gone.
He tries to look around the room, but thanks to the clouds, the room didnt have much light into it. Meaning that it was pitch black in there, so most people would be able to see.
Unfortunately Y/N was not most people as thanks to the suit, he had better vision than most.
Kraven growls "Show yourself, I refuse to back down to a coward like you!"
Y/N growls from behind him "Like you're one to talk."
Kraven turns just to receive a haymaker to the jaw sending the man flying to the center of the room.
Y/N quickly hides again as Kraven recovers, pulling out a staff. He stabs it into the floor as he presses a button. Electricity begins to spark from it, while not hurting anyone, it provided a small light source, helping the man see.
"You needed an entire army to hunt us down! You're not a real hunter! You're just a dying old man who is too privileged to accept death!" Y/N shouts from his now limited darkness
Kraven gritted his teeth "What about you? Whatever this suit is, its giving you an edge! It reminds me of what one of those other heroes wore! Did you steal it? Did you need an unfair advantage?"
He turns to the giant window before hearing a sound of a thud behind him. Turning around, a tendril suddenly shoots out and wraps around Kraven's torso. He is then suddenly pulled into the darkness. Before he can enter it, a hand reaches out, grabbing the man by the throat.
"SAYS THE ONE THAT NEEDED THE CHEAP SHOT!!!" Y/N roars out as he runs all the way to the window and quickly slams Kravens body through it, shattering it as the pieces fall to the ground below.
Kraven uses this opportunity to take a good look at Y/N. Before he met him wearing the suit, it looked normalish. While it was slimey, he could understand the inspiration of the look may have come from the first Spider.
Seeing him now though was a different story.
The armor that had previously been there was gone. The spider symbol looked twisted and sharp, as if the safe meaning behind it had been replaced with a warning. Tne lenses were the what caught his attention the most. They were sharper, like a predator staring down his prey before the inevitable chase.
Kraven reaches for a dagger in his coat. Quickly pulling it out, he attempts to stab Y/N in the arm, but before the blade could make contact, tendrils shoot out Y/N's back and grab his wrist. They then twist his wrist causing the man pain and making the man drop the knife as it falls to the street below them.
Kraven grits his teeth as the hold on both his neck and wrist tightens "So we are back in this scenario. Are you going to be foolish and capture me?!"
He suddenly let's out a scream as he feels his wrist bones begin to crack. He probably would have screamed for long had it not been for the pressure around his neck getting stronger.
Y/N tilts his head "Because I spared you last time, you destroyed a foundation meant to help people, you cause so much collateral damage for hunting Connors, you nearly hurt my friends, and you almost killed me..."
Kraven tries to catch is breathe as pressure tightens further, the feeling of his eyes wanting to burst out
"I'm done with second chances!" Y/N? speaks once more.
Suddenly a sudden invisible venom punch sends Y/N flying away into a wall. The attack forces the tendrils to let go of Kraven, as he falls towards the ground.
Before he gets to far, he is suddenly webbed to the side of the building as a familiar red and blue figure runs up the wall, passing him before entering the same broken window that he came out of.
Miles deactives his invisabiltiy as the two walk into the dark room "Y/N! Are you in here?!?! We need to talk!"
The room darkness as the staff that was providing some kind of life before powers down, drowning the room in darkness. There is nothing but silence as they both walk further into the room.
Miles activates his Venom powers, letting the room bright up a little more to help keep the darkness at bay.
Peter looks towards the left, where the destroyed pillar was, and sees Y/N leaning on it, holding his jaw, looking away.
Peter pokes Miles shoulder to get his attention, making the young spider look at him.
Miles slowly walks towards the teen "Hey man...I didn't mean to hit you that hard. I had to do something you know."
Peter walks in around the pair, in case Y/N tries to make a run for it.
Y/N suddenly moves his head to face the two, the lenses of his mask moving around like actual eyes.
Miles puts his hands up "Y/N we need to talk. You nearly killed Kraven."
Peter stays silent as he sees Y/N's muscles tense "Miles, you may want to move."
Suddenly both their spider senses go off as suddenly Y/N summons sharp tendrils from his body that go in all directions. A few of them almost hit the other Spider-Men with others damaged the walls, floor, and ceilings. As more light pours in, the room becomes significantly for visible as the two Spider-men look in shock at how different Y/N look.
How feral he had become.
The boy looks up at Miles "Why did you stop me Miles? This could have Ended." He growls out. The way that the sentence ended put the two on edge.
Peter approaches him "Y/N this isnt you. The suit, it's changing you. We know why!"
Miles speaks up "It's an alien Man! You're wearing a living creature! It's the reason why Connor's doesn't have an arm. The reason why it was kept Harry from dying! Why it bonded to you! It needs a host to survive!"
Y/N stays silent as he begins to process the information. Things began to click on his mind. How the suit reacted when he would nearly get sneak attacked. How the suit seemed to heal him after Kraven.
He steps forward "It...chose me?"
Both of the Spider-men's lenses widen as they here this. Peter steps forward "Y/N Connors said we need to get that suit off of you. It's causing you do be more aggressive."
"What is Conners doing to do." Y/N with a hint of fear in his voice.
"Connors says it needs to be destroyed. That it's too dangerous!" Miles shouts.
"Destroy Us?"
Peter notices the change in Y/N voice as he gets in his stance, while Miles doing the same once Peter does "Y/N...the suit is dange-"
Y/N interrupts Peter "The suit...it makes us- She makes us better!"
Miles looks at Peter "She?"
Y/N grips his head "I don't understand, why do you want us to die! We need this! We can better! We Can Be Worthy!"
Peter lifts an eyebrow "Worthy? What are you talking about?"
"Isn't that why you bench me? Because I couldn't handle it? Because I wasn't strong enough? With her, we can be!" Y/N begins to lose it as tendrils come out of Y/N legs and raise the teen higher.
"I can be strong enough for the next Flint Marko disaster! The next Kraven! The next devil's breath! I can be strong enough to protect Everyone! You! Miles! MJ! My Parents!"
Miles eyes widen 'That's why the suit was able to manipulate him. Not by his anger, but by his own doubts about himself.'
He then looks at Peter, who nods, having the same thought as the older Spider-Man thinks "You are strong. That suit is making you take steps that are too far! You nearly killed Kraven!
Y/N glares at Peter before roaring "HE DESERVES IT!!!! HE NEARLY KILLED US! NEARLY KILLED OUR PARENTS!!! NEARLY KILLED YOU AND MILES!!! HE'S KILLED SO MANY ALREADY!!!"
Miles shouts back "But we're better than that!"
Y/N puls both is arms back "Well I'm not!!!"
Bringing his arms forward, two large tendrils go towards the two Spider-Men, forcing the pair to dodge.
Peter rolls to the ground, while Mile lands on one of the undamaged pillars on the other side of the room.
Peter runs up and quickly begins to shoot webs at Y/N, however the suit just absorbs them. Y/N faces the hero before shoot another tendrils, nearly hitting the man.
Before he could do anything else, a tendril shoots out from his body aimed at what was seemingly air. It makes contact as a grunt was heard. Y/N turns back in time to see Miles's camouflage ability come undone.
"We could see you." Y/N mutters in his face before throwing him towards a wall.
Suddenly Y/N is thrown off his balance and lands on the floor when Peter slams both his legs into Y/N's back.
Quickly rolling up, Peter and Y/N clash, with the latter pushing the man back until Peter begins to try all out and plants his feet firmly into the ground.
"STOP THIS Y/N! CAN'T YOU SEE WHAT YOU'RE DOING!!!"
Y/N growls out "I don't want this either! But you want us to be weak!
The teens lenses widen before glaring "THATS WHY YOU WANT US WEAK! SO YOU COULD HOG THE GLORY! THE MOMENT I'M SUDDENLY STRONGER, YOU'RE JEALOUS!"
Peter eyes widen in shock before he is suddenly kneed in the gut, knocking the wind out of him.
Before he could react, the teen uppercuts him into the ceiling. The force of the blow forces Peter to bounce off it. Y/N uses this opportunity to jump towards the hero, tackling him through the ceiling, forcing them back onto the top of the building.
Peter winded from the blow, quickly knees Y/N in the chin before using his body to leap off of him. Landing on the roof, his costume torn in a few places, but not badly damaged.
Y/N lands also, rubbing his jaw before growling at the older hero.
Peter gestures around "Look around Y/N! This isn't you! I heard what you did! Before you got the suit, before you fought Kraven! While I dont like why you did it, I understand! You were grieving! It's ok that you weren't strong enough! That's why we're here! So we can help when you're not!"
Y/N growls "You weren't there! How can you possibly understand us!"
He turns quickly and uses his tendril and aims at a sneaking Miles, who dodges over it and uses his Venom boost to quickly tackle Y/N to the ground and pin him down.
"We know you're hurting! And I'm sorry! I'm sorry that we made you feel this way! I got lost in my own vengeance, while Peter was doing his best to save Harry that we forgot that you were drowning in darkness! We know how you feel! Peter lost Aunt May! I lost Phin and my Dad!"
Y/N begins to lash out and tries to push Miles off of him, but he is suddenly pinned further as he sees Peter holding him down as well.
"I'm sorry too Y/N! I knew that you were hurting, but I thought you could handle it on your own! Had I known how bad your thoughts were, I would have dropped everything to save you! Remember what I said to you when Kraven wanted you to end him! You listened! This isnt you! PLEASE! COME BACK!!
Y/N thrashes less as he cries "I don't want to fight either."
This shocks the other Spider-Men as Y/N continues "I didn't want it to come this far! I wanted to be worthy of the name! I wanted to prove myself! I want to stop...but I-"
Suddenly Y/N's suit begins to bubble. Quickly the other Spider-Men jump away as Y/N suddenly summons mutiple tendrils around the area, causing the roof to cave in.
As the roof collapes, Miles and Peter quickly began saving and webbing up the unconscious hunter agents that were unconscious that were falling off the roof. During the process they were able to web up the broken air cruiser pieces to the building as well.
Meanwhile as they did this Y/N lands on his knees while clenching his head 'I don't want to fight! They're my friends!'
'They want to separate us! Make us weak! They are jealous!'
'No! Peter and Miles aren't like that! They're my friends! They haven't betrayed me!'
'They Will Once We are Separated! Don't do this! We need each other!'
'No! This chaos happened because of us. Because of me! Maybe I should listen-'
Suddenly a feeling of Euphoria fills Y/N system as he suddenly becomes drowsy.
'Wh...What did you do to-'
'You're not thinking straight. Rest now. I'll handle the rest'
'Wait, wh-?'
He couldnt question as his slips into unconsciousness, his body slumping over for a second as Peter and Miles arrive.
Peter eyes widen seeing Y/N in this position "Y/N? Hey are you ok?"
He kneels and shakes him by his shoulder. Nothing happens at first, confusing the two, before suddenly his body lurches back and he let's out an ungodly screech.
This causes both Spider-Men to back up as they notice the suit quickly cover Y/N body once more, making him appear covered in sludge. Suddenly that sludge begins to morph further and further, getting bigger, taller, and more dangerous.
Suddenly the sludge stops as it begins to take shape. The sludge that covered Y/N had become a massive creature, of 7 foot, building muscles, with a massive spider symbol on its chest its chest, but the biggest difference of it all was the rows of razor sharp teeth that showed on the mouth of it where there wasn't one before.
Miles begins to back up "What the fuck is that?"
The creature fully forms as it looks down at the two heroes
"You can call us many things, but we are Venom to the unfair corruption in this world! To the monsters that thrive in the dark! To the blind justices in the world"
It clenches it fist.
"AND YOU..."
It plants its foot deeper on the remains of the floor.
"SHALL NOT..."
It growls out before letting out a massive roar.
"HURT MY LITTLE BROTHER!!!!!"
It begans to charge at the two as they quickly prepare for their toughest fight yet.
Hello there, I hope you enjoy this chapter a lot.
Similarly to last time, this chapter went on for far longer than I had hope, but the next chapter is the guaranteed finale to the Origin Saga of this book. We still got to get into MHA and that's when things will get a little easier.
Before I end things off, I kinda wanted to explain a couple things, in case any of you were confused. I'm doing this because I have no real way of putting it in, without it being lazy, so here they are.
Let's start off with the costume.
I'm going to keep it real, I went through many options, or lack of, through the comments and games and this was the best I could do. I have something planned, but it couldnt be implemented this early on, but for now, yeah.
Now onto the changes I made from the Insomniac game.
To me, a lot of things had happened in the game because of Peter getting the suit, such as the fact that he went after the Lizard alone, or treated Harry like crap, or even when he attracted Kraven's attention.
To me had it not been for that suit, Miles probably would have helped out Peter with the Lizard, Peter would have been cool to Harry, or even the fact that the entire segment of Miles getting kidnapped wouldnt have happened because Kraven would have no reason to follow Peter, therefore not even needing to call Miles to help them.
Plus everyone here, well besides Y/N, would have known that the suit was an Alien so Peter would have told MJ, Harry, and Miles. So those changes would happen.
As for the changes of Venom, let me get this off the table, no she is not a love interest.
The reason Venom is female is because as for those who don't know, Venom and the other symbiote's personality are created from the experiences from their hosts. In the game, we have Peter getting mad throughout the game. Like when MJ was posting that article, or when Kraven destroyed the foundation, or when Kraven is causing even further chaos and pissing him off.
The symbiote just amplifies those emotions and therefore imprints on them in turn.
Y/N is something question his worth and doubting himself. When his mother hugged him, Y/N got the feeling of safety, therefore Venom would use that same feeling when Y/N would panic or be wary of Venom. Venom is more of a comfort friend in this than the one we usually get in canon.
As for the little brother thing, I decided to throw in a little bit of anime weirdness, just because.
Anyway, if any of you have any further thoughts, let me know.
Hope you all enjoy the rest of your day.
Peace.
