Spider-Man: Clone Saga

Allies

    Kaine would swing throughout New York, trying to find some place to sleep for the night since for the last few days and he desperately needed it. He let go of a web line and landed at an abandoned three story building, he punched a few boards out of the way before climbing in through the window. He breathed hard as he would go down to his hands and knees, lifting up his mask as he coughed hard. Blood splatter came from his mouth as he was trying to take deep breaths, balling his hands into fists before forcing himself to stand up. He walked into a different room where there was a bed, covers, and a few other essentials: he walked over to the bed and laid down on it. Pulling the covers over him as he took off his mask, closing his eyes as sleep called for him and he answered.

    Peter would be in his room as he looked to the city from his window, thinking about the realization that he has clones of himself that are walking around. Not just that but the fact the Avengers had clones and even Logan, but for Peter, this hits home more than anything else since that means someone knows his life as Spider-Man and as Peter Parker. These thoughts haunted him mainly for the safety of his family, he thought that Osborn was bad enough when he killed Gwen, but now there was a possible Government secret program of people making clones that new Peter Parker is Spider-Man. Peter ran his gloved hand over his face before he shook his head for a moment, he heard someone knock on the wall: he turned to see Ben standing there with two canned sodas. "Hey, need something to drink?" Ben asked with a small smile on his face before coming in and holding a soda out for him.

    "I'm not thirsty," he lied as he turned from Ben to look at the window.

    Ben sighed before he just put the soda into Peter's hand. "We know that's a lie and also you need someone to talk to."

    "Did Reed send you or Sue?"

    "Believe it or not, MJ did," Ben said as he opened his canned soda before leaning against the wall. "Gave me the look and threatened me to talk to you."

    Peter cracked a small smirk at that comment before he nodded at Ben, "Yeah, been on that side of that look multiple times," he turned to look at Ben, "I'm surprised she sent you and not one of the X-Men.

    "Eh... she thought you were still mad at them."

    "I am," he confirmed before opening his soda before drinking it. "Root beer? You also have my tastes?"

    Ben chuckled before shrugging, "Some of them," he said before drinking his soda. "She also said, it might do you some good to talk to yourself."

    Peter looked at Ben up and down before looking down at the soda, "This is weird for me," he said before taking in a deep breath. "Actually having someone that looks like me, sounds like me, even moves like me without it being Chameleon or Mysterio trying to copy me exact," he said before he took another drink. "Now... there's you, the me in the Scorpion armor, not to mention the dude that has Spider Powers that tried to kill me before."

    "Yeah, who was that guy anyways?" Ben asked as he looked at the city before taking a drink.

    "I don't know," Peter admitted before looking at the city, "His voice was horse, like he was smoking for a long while or something worse, but he said his name was Kaine. Also that my DNA is the cure to his disease."

    "Say what now?"

    Peter shrugged before looking at Ben, "Don't ask me, I only met the dude yesterday. However, his anger seemed very familiar, reminds me what I was like after finding Uncle Ben's body," he whispered before taking in a deep breath. "Mind if I ask you some questions?"
