A Spider's Guide to Heroism

Chapter Ten

    Spider-Man landed on the Helicarrier after webbing himself up to it. He let himself in through his normal route and made his way down the hallways of the large air ship. He was curious as to what Nick Fury had in store for him, it sounded a bit urgent whatever it was he was needed for. A guard stopped him as he headed towards to bridge. Once explaining himself and how Nick Fury asked him to come, the guard kindly let him through. Being Spider-Man getting into places like this wasn't actually that hard.

    "Yo, what's the problem, Fury?" Spider-Man asked walking up to the dark skinned man who turned around to face him, a normal scowl on his face but expression softening seeing a common ally.
    "We've got a bit of a concerning discovery." Nick Fury replied, leading him over to a computer to bring up information on the screen. "One of our field agents did a investigation of the attack HYDRA launched and found out why they were questioning and tracking the purchase and exchange of ISO-8."
    "Really?" Spider-Man looked at the screen. "What was it?"
    Fury turned to Spider-Man. "Do you remember... Venom?"
    Spider-Man stiffened up. "I... I thought I took care of that..."
    "Oh you did." Fury reassured him. "But I'm using it as an example..." He pressed a few buttons on the computer and brought up a diagram of a substance.
    "Is that...?" Spider-Man's eyes widened at the screen.
    "The Symbiote." Fury looked at Spiderman. "But it's not the original, somehow HYDRA has replicated the make up of it. Cloned in a way, but we can't figure out what they cloned it from, because there is no knowledge of them acquiring a part of the original Symbiote."
    "Interesting..." Spider-Man stated. "So are they going to make a monster with this stuff?"
    "Not exactly..." Fury replied. "They seem to be looking into it to make some sort of super armour from it. When you were in the black suit, you're aware of how strong that material is."
    "Oh yeah." Spider-Man replied, realizing now why he was called to this matter. "Honestly, if it wasn't for the whole brainwashing and changing who I was thing, the black suit was actually pretty cool and useful."
    "Well here's the concerning part, because of that." Fury continued. "They are looking for ISO-8 to inject the Symbiote and see if they can increase it, control it and possibly neutralize the sentient part and keep the material. And the worst part, they got their hands on some ISO-8."
    "So, you want me to go in and steal the clone Symbiote so they can't go ahead with this, right?" Spider-man asked. "I mean HYDRA would have a huge advantage with armour made form the stuff."
    "You'd be correct." Fury replied. "We cant afford to let them develop this technology. Also, if we can get our hands on it, we can quarantine it, and if HYDRA's assumptions are correct, perhaps we can neutralize it ourselves and use it for our own armour, which will benefit us on our job to protect against threats and also give the advantage to spare having to call in so many heroes."
    "So you want to put me out of a job?" Spider-Man laughed.
    "Of Course not." Fury replied. "But being able to handle larger threats with just humans will make your life and the other's lives easier as well, and you can focus your attention on bigger threats such as the super villains."
    "That makes a lot of sense actually." Spider-Man commented.

    Fury brought up a layout of one of HYDRA's base. "We've located the lab at this location, we'll send you in with a S.H.E.I.L.D. unit. Once you locate the lab with the project, alert us and we'll make a move to storm to base, causing a distraction for you to grab it and get out. Simple really."
    "Sure, easy enough." Spider-Man replied. "When do we head out, I need to lie to Aunt May again so she doesn't get suspicious."
    "It's getting late right now, so head home and tell your aunt its a trip with work or something." Fury replied. "Show up here first thing tomorrow morning and that's when we will head out. Any more time given to HYDRA to develop the project could be detrimental."
    "Understood." Spider-Man said heading to the doors again. "I'll be here first thing in the morning." He gave a wave and made his way out of the bridge, and down the hall and back out of the ship, swinging away back through the city.

    "Okay, Deadpool this is getting out of hand." Spider-Man spoke not bothering to pick himself up off the ground. Deadpool had cut his web again to get his attention. "I thought you were leaving?"
    "I was." Deadpool said, pulling the Spider to his feet. "Buuuut I changed my mind."
    "Why do you wanna hang out around New York?" Spider-Man asked annoyed.
    "Well one, I get to hang out with my favourite person ever!" Deadpool pulled Spider-Man into a forced hug and was promptly shoved away. "And two, I had a character developing thought."
    "Oh did you?" Spider-Man questioned. "What was it?"
    "I decided, fuck Nick Fury." Deadpool replied.
    "At least take him to dinner first." Spider-Man remarked.
    "Look, he said he didn't want me around here as a Hero. Usually that translates to he thinks I'm a trouble maker and a lot of hassle. But I've proved otherwise to you, haven't I?" Deadpool asked.
    "Well, I mean yeah I guess you've stuck to what you've said and improved. Its been well over a week and no one's been killed..." Spider-Man admitted that Deadpool did have him impressed.
    "Exactly! So I'm gonna keep doing that." Deadpool replied. "I can help people and be a hero without Saint Nick's approval."
    "You can." Spider-Man replied smiling under his mask, now extremely impressed that Deadpool was actually going ahead with this. "You can help everyone around the world instead of hunting them around it."
    "Yeah I can." Deadpool replied happily. "I can be a real hero."
    "You sure can bud." Spider-Man gave him a light hearted pat on the back. "Well, see you around. Send me a post card from wherever you go." He stuck his web to a building.
    "Hey... Hey wait!" Deadpool grabbed him, keeping him from swinging away. "W-where are you going? What do you mean wherever I go, I can't stay here?"
    "Well I uh... I'm sorta already handling things here, Deadpool." Spider-Man looked at him lopsided.
    "I... You don't want me here do you?" Deadpool asked.
    "I mean not when you were all guns a blazing an trying to take my head off, no."
    "Well I'm not doing that, sorry about that by the way." Deadpool replied. "But I'm different now! I've changed! For the better! So Since I'm not like that, can I stay?"

    Spider-Man thought for a moment. He wondered how Fury would react to Deadpool still hanging around. Spider-man had to admit, when Deadpool wasn't Deadpool and was Wade Wilson he was kinda fun and tolorable. The only thing that really ever bugged him about the mercenary was his profession, but if he was giving that up now... He was getting really excited thinking that he was right and had converted Deadpool over to a new leaf.

    "Well I... Don't see what harm it can do." Spider-Man replied. "As long as you promise to stick to this new you."
    "I think I can handle it." Deapdool replied. "I mean it's not like I was addicted to guns and stuff." He turned to the side and took out his wallet whispering to a small picture he had of one of his favourite guns. "Forgive me."
    Spider-Man rolled his eyes. "Are you sure you can stick to it? I mean not killing people too, you still do have very sharp swords."
    "Don't worry baby boy," Deadpool replied turning back to him. "Stab wounds are easier to recover from then bullets, and it's no different then punching a guy in the face. I know where all the main arteries are in the human body, so Instead of using them to quickly kill my enemies I'll use that knowledge to not unalive them, yeah?"
    "That works I guess." Spider-Man replied. "I mean I've sent a few to the hospital as well, cause fighting can get rough. I just don't want anyone to loose their life over it though."
    "I'll make sure not to unalive them." Deadpool said. "I promise."
    "Okay then, I guess this is settled." Spider-man extended his hand for a handshake. "Welcome to the new you."
    "Deadpool, friendly neighbour hood hero." He took Spider-man's hand and shook it firmly.
    "Alright you stole my outfit, don't still my line too." Spider-Man joked.
    "I did not steal your outfit, you stole mine." Deadpool arugued.
    "What, I did not. I made it from scratch, I didn't even know you when I first became Spider-Man!" Spider-Man scowled under his mask.
    "Oh but I knew you, and I know for a fact you stole my idea." Deadpool arugued.
    "That doesn't make any sense, how can you say that." Spider-Man shot back. "If anything you stole mine!"
    "I did not!"
    "You did so!"
    "Did not."
    "Did so."
    "Did not."   
    "Yes you did."
    "No, I didn't!"
    "Yes."
    "No."
    "Yes."
    "No."

    "Yeah uh, just head on to the next chapter reader, this is going to take awhile to settle."
