Spider-Man: Clone Saga

Sewers

    It was night time out in the desert, a man with brown hair, blue eyes, and wearing a skin tight white and blue suit was running through the barren wasteland under the moonlit sky. The man was breathing heavily before stopping for a moment, going to his knees before coughing. Blood came from his mouth before the man twisted in pain, veins started to bulge out of the neck before the man shook his head. "Find... the real one... warn him..." he groaned before he heard a high pitch whistle came from the sky which caused the man to look up with blood shot eyes. He slowly got up as if to make a stand but then an orange ball landed right next to the man's feet, lines around the orange ball started to glow green before a huge explosion took the man within seconds. Causing an evil laugh to permeate the silent sky and the high pitch whistle would continue for a few more moments before silence would come back to the desert.

    Peter would wake up in his apartment, he would slowly turn to face his beautiful wife Mary Jane Parker. He smiled at her before going up and kissing her forehead, then sitting up as it was still night outside, he rubbed his face before turning his head and looked at her stomach. The man gave a small smile before he would get up and exit the bedroom; he made his way to the kitchen and made himself a cup of coffee. Peter just yawned for a few moments before taking his cup and sat down at the dinner table, taking a few sips while thinking about the events that happened yesterday.

    His mind drifts back to his fight with Scorpion yesterday and how the supervillains moves were similar to his own but definitely erratic. As if something was pushing this new Scorpion to target Peter specifically, and that made Peter nervous for his wife and his unborn child: his head turned to the bedroom, concerned for his family but he knew MJ could take care of herself and he still had Johnny Storm and the Fantastic Four to look after them if anything does happen. The phone rang, Peter got up and picked it up before answering it. "Yo," Peter said as he went to the door of the bedroom and closed it.

    "Spider-Man, it's Yuri Watanabe," Yuri's voice came through the phone. "Are you awake?"

    "For you Yuri, I'm always up and ready to kick some bad guy butt."

    "That always worries me when you say that."

    "What's up Captain?" Peter asked as he drank more coffee before sitting down at the dinner table.

    "Scorpion's what's up. He was taken by the FBI and the CIA as well," Yuri stated which caused Peter to almost spit out his coffee.

    Peter coughed before looking at the door, "He was what?"

    "Men in suits with CIA and FBI badges came in, whispered something to Scorpion before we could ask any more questions then took him away. That's not even the strange bit."

    "There's something more strange than what you told me?"

    "He knew most of the cases we worked together, from Goblin, to Dr. Octopus, to even Carnage."

    "Wait..." Peter said as he stood up his face showed even more concern. "Carnage was supposed to be labeled as Top Secret by S.H.I.E.L.D. no one knows about it except, if he was there."

    "He even said that he was Spider-Man," Yuri stated before she would just sigh. "Even knew personal details of our relationship. Whatever is going on and why this Scorpion attacked you, it's probably safe to assume he might know who you are. If he does get back out."

    Peter looked at the bedroom before he narrowed his eyes. "Try to find out who the guys who took Scorpion, I need to check something out with Doctor Connors," he said before he hung up the phone and went to his closet. Pulling out his Spider costume and put it on. He quickly went out the window before he started to swing to Doctor Conor's old laboratory to check on a hunch at the bottom of his stomach.

    Unknown to Peter, a shadowy figure came in after him and climbed into the apartment. The silhouette was that of Spider-Man but the light coming in from the window also showed silver bracelets, a belt around the figures waist, a sleeveless hoodie. The unknown man walked through the apartment, the figure picked up an old photo of Peter and Aunt May. The figure would walk to the bedroom and opened the door a crack; peeking in at Mary Jane and stare at her for a moment before closing the door. The figure would exit the apartment and closed the window, before jumping off the wall and fire a web line. Swinging off to the dark of the knight.

    Spider-Man continued to swing to the sewers before he pulled a grate up, he sighed before he jumped into the sewers. Landing on one of the walkways before looking around, he then would walk to an old part of the sewers. He looked around until finding a makeshift laboratory with a few beakers broken and papers scattered around the place. "Hey Doc," he said solemnly before looking at a few scratches on the wall; he put his hand on the scratches before stepping into the laboratory. 

    He knelt down at a few papers and picked them up, looking through them while moving to one of the tables in the lab. He saw different formulas for regenerating limbs but one he was looking for was one of genetic codes, more specifically, his genetic code. There was one time that Spider-Man tried to get rid of his powers and had to let Curt Connors look at his blood, while some bad things happened, the hero decided it was best to keep his abilities. He continued to look but didn't find the specific paper he was looking for, as he continued to search he did find that a few vials were missing as well. This caused the lenses of his mask to narrow, then his spider sense went off: his lenses widened before looking behind him, flipping up to the roof of the sewers as the concrete wall behind him blew open.

    The dust settled as Spider-Man looked at who busted in and his lenses went very wide. "No, this can't be possible!" he whispered as he saw Lizard hissing at him. The reptilian villain jumped up to swipe at Spider-Man with his claws but the hero pushed off and rolled on the ground. "Dr. Connors!" he yelled but Lizard just blinked and hissed at him, "Hey, it's me it's Spider-Man. How are you alive?" he asked trying to reach the human side of Lizard.

    Lizard roared at Spider-Man and flipped down to the ground, slowly standing up on his two legs before looking towards the hero. Lizard leaps towards Spider-Man but the hero kicked Lizard at his snout. Spider-Man got into a defensive pose, "Curt!" he yelled but Lizard just screeched at him: Spider-Man ran towards Lizard but the villain used his tail to knock Spider-Man into some lab equipment. The hero shook his head before looking up, seeing Lizard's mouth was wide open to bite his head off. He rolled out of the way causing Lizard to bite some glass vials, blood filled his mouth but it didn't seem like Lizard responded to pain.

    Spider-Man looked at Lizard and the lenses narrowed, "That didn't happen when I last fought Lizard," he spoke to himself. His spider sense went off again as a white blur ran past him, there was no time to dodge but sparks came off of Spider-Man's chest and a explosion caused him to be launched into the sewage water. A few minutes passed before Spider-Man jumped out and stuck to the wall, his suit covered in some dirt and burn marks. His spider sense went off again as he saw multiple light arrows were flying at him, he fired a web line and dodged much of the arrows as he could. He swung through the opening into the sewer before more light arrows hit him and caused another explosion, sending him out to traffic.

    Spider-Man rolled on the ground for a few moments as he just coughed and his suit was torn in a few places. He groaned before lifting his head to see nothing, just the dark alley, "Ok... now I'm even more confused," he coughed as he struggled to stay up. Spider-Man was tired and everything was hurting, he was about to web to a rooftop until a cable went around his neck, choking him. He grabbed on the cable as he coughed and hacked before looking around, he webbed a trash can and threw it behind him. The cable got off his neck and Spider-Man turned around to see Daredevil dodging the trash can and flipping his billy club around. "Daredevil?"

    "Time to die," Daredevil spoke as he started to run towards Spider-Man and performed a flying side kick to Spider-Man's chest. Spider-Man went through a glass window before rolling on the ground, he groaned as Daredevil approached him slowly. The glass crunched underneath his feet while Spider-Man's right lens was broken, he looked up at Daredevil before passing out. Having multiple questions about what was going on, how was Lizard alive, and more importantly inside his mind. Why was Daredevil trying to kill him, while he was unconscious, he thought he heard a scene of struggle before hearing someone speaking to him. "It's ok bro, I got you," which the voice sounds strangely like his but before he could question it, darkness covered his mind fully. Leaving him vulnerable for whoever was going to kill or save him.
