New Gang Intro Part 1: The Apocalypse

*In Peter's basement*

After his fight with Flash, Peter left school early and went home to finish his new invention. Still feeling frustrated, Peter couldn't wait to go and take his anger out on some bad guys tonight though he prefers and hopes he runs into Hydro-man for some much-needed payback for what he did to Felicia. "A few more adjustments and water boy won't be prepared for my new webbing that I have created just for him."

While finishing up his project, Peter reflects on what happened at school starting with the odd conversation with Liz apologizing and wanting to try and be friends. "What was up with Liz's change in attitude? She seems like she genuinely wants a fresh start with me and she broke up with Flash to further prove her point. Even still I hope she's not thinking that I will dump Felicia for her and surely she would be not down with being friends with her at the moment."

Peter thoughts take him to the confrontation with Flash, who bully him for the longest since the two knew each other. The old Peter would have felt sorry for the way he handles today. However, the new Peter believes it was a long time coming and just needed the confidence to stand up for his self instead of being the usual punching bag. "It felt good to give Flash a piece of my mind finally. Sure I was trying to keep any suspicion of me being Spider-man, but it has been worth it since coming back to school and showing everyone there's a new Peter Parker in town."

Peter proudly smirks as he finishes his new webbing formula that should help him in his rematch against Hydro-man as well as his backup web fluid that sticks a lot tougher than his original. Wanting to prepare his self, Peter gets ready to test out new fluid until he hears on the police scanner that about gang activity in the area. "I was going to check this baby out before going on patrol, oh well looks like I'm going to have to test it on Hydro-man his self. Then again I'm sure if I cause enough noise he will come running."

With that said Peter puts on his Spider-suit, brings his new webbing, and heads to the scene of the crime with no intention of calling Felicia to go with him, for one he needed to take his anger out and this time his fight with Hydro-man is personal to him for surely she would understand that.

*Meanwhile At the school*

Liz, feeling proud that the first part of her plan was a success, retrieve her stuff from her locker and prepares to head home for the day. That is until she closes her locker and turns to see a familiar white hair girl standing right there scaring the crap out of her.

"I need to have a word with you right now." Felicia orders in a serious tone.

Liz nervously smiles and in her innocent voice, "Hello Felicia, what brings you by my locker?"

"Don't play dumb with me I heard about your conversation with Peter earlier before the Flash incident happens, and I'm not buying this whole I change for the better crap that you are claiming," Felicia calls out the problem causing Liz to flinch a bit.

"I have no idea what you are talking about, for its true I want a fresh start with Peter as friends. Now that I think about it, I believe me, and you have begun off on the wrong foot so how about you and me have a do-over for Peter's sake?" Liz request to sweetly for Felicia's liking.

"Right and maybe we have sleepovers and do each other's makeup while we at it," Felicia responds in a little girl voice.

"Oh my gosh, wouldn't that be fun?" Liz follows up with the conversation.

Felicia drops the voice and folds her arms saying, "Being sarcastic in case you didn't catch on."

Liz sighs at this. "Seriously Felicia while I may not understand how you and Peter ended up together over the summer, I do miss dating him, but sadly I have to accept that we can only be friends at this point and I much would rather have that than not have him in my life at all. That's why I broke up with Flash to prove how much he means to me." Liz's eyes begin to water, and she turns away from Felicia.

Felicia studies her actions. As much as she wanted to make it to where Liz won't talk to Peter again, she couldn't do anything physically to her unless provoked. Then there was that "what if she has changed" question that rang in her head. Her thoughts drift back to when she and Peter reconnected and how he had the choice not to give her another chance. "Damn it Pete your boy scout materialism have gotten to me."

Making her decision, Felicia gets Liz attention, and sternly tells her, "Fine you have one chance, Liz, one chance to show me that you are not bluffing about this new you. However, if you screw up this opportunity and you try to steal Peter from me you won't like the consequences from me got it?"

Liz gulps from how close Felicia was to her. "Crystal clear."

"So does this make us friends?"

"Hell no!" Felicia snaps at her before walking away leaving Liz alone. Taking a deep breath an evil smirk forms on her face. "Well, that could have gone better. I will give her credit; she's serious about my Petey. However, that failed attempt of a scare tactic is not going to work that quickly on me for I will find a way to win back Petey even if it means going through her... I need to go to the gym more."

Felicia, on the other hand, takes her phone out and begin to text Mary Jane about what happened.

Felicia: I talk to Liz, don't worry your name wasn't brought up in the discussion.

MJ: It wouldn't matter, for more than likely will know that it was me that you told about it, but I'm not scared of her. How did it go?

Felicia: Of course she gave me the bad girl gone good speech. Not buying it one bit, though I will play her game for now until she gives me a reason to show my claws.

MJ: Hopefully common sense will tell her otherwise not to do anything stupid. Did you ask her about where Peter went?

Felicia: Nope, more than likely she would have lied or would of mention that when we were talking. I'm going to head to his place; maybe he just went home early.

MJ: Sound like a plan, keep me posted?

Felicia: Sure thing Redhead.

Closing her phone, Felicia rushes over to Peter's house to see if return home from school. Instead of going through the front, Felicia climbs to Peter room only because she is in a hurry to see him. To her disappointment, as she enters the room, Peter is nowhere to be found.

"Peter where are you?" She whispers to herself looking around the room for clues on where he might be. Felicia notices that his room is a mess and his closet door was slightly open. Looking inside, she sees no signs of his Spider-man costume.

"He must of went out on patrol, but why would he go without me?" Felicia wonders curiously. Mary Jane did mention that Peter said something about needing some air before he left which could mean he came out as Spider-man to try and calm down. Lately, she has noticed the changes in Peter since going back to school and begins to wonder what is going on with him and what made him go out on his own without him. Not saying that she runs his life but it's odd that they went from a partnership to now he's back solo.

Going out the window, Felicia makes it her sole mission to find Peter and talk to him about what's been bother her, but first, to put on her Black Cat suit.

*Later That evening*

Spider-man swings through the city until he reaches the police officer that sent out the information about a new band of thugs spotted in the city. "Sergeant Carter, what's the word?" He asks itching for a fight. Sergeant Carter has always been a huge fan of Spider-man, and over the summer the two have gotten a bit more acquainted with each other.

"Good to see you Spidey like the new costume, by the way, we got a tip of the new Apocalypse gang wants to blow up this power station they do that there will be a citywide blackout." The officer reports to the spider hero getting Spidey's attention even more. During the summer vacation, crime was at a low, and there was no news about any new gang showing up.

"I guess with us getting our ass kick by water boy, that gave some idiots confidence that they can try to claim the streets of New York for their own. Sorry boys but you all have another thing coming." Spider-man stretches while telling the Carter, "Since this Apocalypse gang wants to make New York their new home, then let me be the welcoming committee. Also glad you approve of the new look, maybe it will help get more love from Officer DeWolf."

"She's coming around just keep doing what you do." With that said, Spider-man follow the cop's car to the scene of the crime until they see a shootout between other officers and two members of the Apocalypse. Spider-man quickly jumps on the enemies' truck causing both to turn their attention to him.

"It's Spider-man!" One of them yells.

Spidey shakes his head with disappointment. "That was very unoriginal it makes my lame joke sound funny. So much for your first impression."

Jumping to action, Spider-man jumps at one of the thugs doing a flip and sending him crashing ground. Dodging the other gunshot, Spider-man jumps backward towards him and beats him down before he could counter attack.

Making a yawning gesture as he webs the two down for the cops, Spidey says in a sarcastic tone, "Boring I expected a much better challenge for guys who can't even dress close to their gang name." He then hears on the scanner about another sighting of the Apocalypse gang on route. "Looks like the Spidey welcoming tour isn't finish yet."

"I will lead the way." Sergeant Carter said getting in his car to track down the other members. They eventually catch up with the other officer car chasing the other two members with Spidey jumping on top of the truck and throws one of them out, before firing a web shot for them to get trap in, and destroys the engine to the truck to stop the other thug and beats him down with a high uppercut punch and a kick sending him down to the ground.

"Spidey there's one more car heading towards the power station." Sergeant Carter warns him after Spider-man ties down the other thug.

"Let's hurry and get there," Spider-man suggests but they would be too late. The last truck, which has a bomb in it, slams into the main battery just as Spider-man arrives at the scene of the crime. "Great I have to disarm that bomb before it explodes and cuts out all the power. Sounds easy enough just need to turn off the power supply so I can take care of the bomb without shocking myself to death."

"Spoke to soon Spider-freak haha." Spider-man turns to see more gang members appearing right behind him. Not in the mood at this point nor have the time to waist, Spider-man takes both of them out with his speed sending one towards the other knocking them out cold. Still, on the move, Spider-man quickly turns the switches off so he can have better access to the bomb.

"No time to disarm it, have to get rid of it at this point, and I think I know where to take it." Spidey grabs the bomb and goes towards the nearby pier. Once there Spidey throws the bomb into the water where it explodes in the sea with no damage done to anyone. Afterward, Spider-man meets back up with Sergeant Carter and tells him, "Team Spidey one, Team Apocalypse Zero."

"Way to go Spider-man. Maybe that will teach them to think twice before moving into our city." Officer Carter smiles proudly at the hero.

"They better unless they want to keep dealing with this landlord about their staying plan that involves a Spidey beat down by yours truly." Spider-man flexes his muscles as a victory pose."

"Say where's your partner Black Cat? I'm surprised she isn't with you." Officer Carter questions curiously noticing that new girl wasn't around. While he hasn't gotten used to her, any friend of Spider-man is okay in his books

Spider-man was about to make up a reason for her now showing up when they both hear on the scanner about a robbery at a bank and a sighting of walking water guy.

"Hydro-man? Perfect, just right after my warm up session. "Popping his knuckles, Spidey prepares for round two telling the officer, "No need to send anymore backup Officer Carter. I have a score to settle with him."

"Are you sure? With all due respect, he did defeat you and Black Cat on his first night." He asks with concern.

"He got lucky that time, this time luck is on my side." Spider-man answers in a low tone before shooting a web line and heading to the scene of the crime with neither noticing the leader of the Apocalypse gang watching nearby plotting his next move.

TBC

I am sorry it been months since I last updated any of my stories, but I have fallen into the busy life deeply with taking to college classes and three jobs (two of them I don't work as much but still time-consuming), and I lost the interest to write. I hope I can get the mojo back running, but until then I appreciate all the new fans and reviews I have received over the months.

Originally the plan was for this chapter to be the rematch between Spider-man vs. Hydro-Man but I will save that for after the next chapter. There was a review saying wanting more action so for this, and the next update will be the focus on new gang fractions showing up as well that Spider-man and Black Cat also have to deal with so guess what, the next chapter Black Cat will be in action against another new gang so look out for Black Cat centric episode (winks at Highlander). There will be another group in the works but more on how they will come to play when the time comes. I'm sure some of you have an idea of where the concept of the gangs came from.

To the guest reviewer who comments saying Felicia is acting psycho this chapter should tell you that wasn't the case and it's more of her jealous streak when it comes to Peter and not to jump to conclusions like you think Felicia vs. Liz would happen this early in the story? No way, besides it, would be a fair fight... yet. Also please don't harass to hurry with updates, I try to update all my stories around 1,000 to 2,000 words or more if possible otherwise I will just do short updates altogether.

Also, I must say, writing action scenes is a pain at times. Lastly thank you for all the reviews, Follows, and Favorites, but most importantly the patience of waiting for the update. Also huge news concerning this story coming within the next few updates, no it has nothing to do with canceling so don't worry.
