Camp Arachnid

Chapter 2: Not An Ordinary Lab

"What you said was out there? Raptors?"

"Veloperators! They are all over the island!" The short one said.

Right on cue, one of the creatures drew into the room. "Don't move!" the tall guy whispered urgently.

Peter blinked in disbelief.

'This must be some alternate dimension... where humans coexisted with dinosaurs in the Jurassic period or something—,'

The Raptor was getting closer to them. Peter knew he probably could handle them fine. "I need you two, to run," Peter said to them.

"What? They'll chase after us! And they're faster!" The short one said. 

"You need to trust me!" Peter said as the dinosaurs were getting closer. The tall guy looked over at the short guy. 

The taller one looked at his friend, and shrugged.

The short one sighed, and nodded. "Fine."

They got up and dashed for the door.

And sure enough, the Raptor chased after them.

"Not so fast!" Peter yelled, firing webs at its feet. He yanked hard, sending the Raptor tumbling, face-first into the floor. It scrambled back to its feet, hissing and sneering in frustration.

"Never in my life, have I ever fought a dinosaur... And no, The Lizard doesn't count."

The Raptor charged at him, making a guttural noise. Peter sighed, shooting a web at it mid-run, pulling it toward him, and landing a punch square on its jaw. Without missing a beat, he hurled the creature into the air, yanking it back down with his webs and slamming it into the ground.

"Well, at least you're a lot lighter than The Lizard-,"

But it wasn't down for long. The Raptor got back up. "Persistent little thing, aren't you? At least your share one thing in common with Doctor Connors,"

It growled and lunged again.

Peter jumped over it, making the raptor slam into the wall. Peter took this chance to trap it. He fired as many webs as he could. The Raptor was stuck to the wall. It tried to wiggle out of the webs, but the webs were too strong, and the Raptor couldn't escape. 

"Don't worry! The webs dissolve in about an hour!" Peter quipped, darting out of the room as the Raptor screeched furiously.

"Now, where did those guys run off to?"

Peter went to look for them. "I need to take it easy on my webs, I can't waste them..."

Peter usually uses his web shooters. But they're missing along with his suit. He had to use his biological web shooters. Webs he makes from his body. But, his body isn't fast at making them naturally. 

As he was walking down the hallway, he could tell, that this place really was some lab. There was even a sign to confirm it. "Genetics lab? What kind of experiments are they running here?"

"Those two guys probably ran far from here. I... should probably go look for a collider. It's gotta be here somewhere..."
