Spider Man: Web of Shadows

Chapter 2: Days Ahead

--Stark Tower--

Peter laid his suit on the table in the middle of the room. He started to get dressed as Tony and Banner were still fixing their tools. They had agreed to let Reed stay in the lab and work while they investigated on what was happening.

"Mr. Stark, will you be going with me? You look like you're still busy over there." Peter said, putting on his gloves.

"I didn't know there was going to be an explosion in Hell's Kitchen. We'll be finished in a few minutes." Tony responded, placing a wrench and screwdriver into a toolbox. "I think you should check on the explosion right now."

"I can do that, Mr. Stark. See you later, guys." Peter said, exiting the room.

Peter passed through Tony's bar room and jumped off his balcony. After he was close enough to the ground, he shot his web onto one of the buildings and used it to swing around. He made his way to Hell's Kitchen as traffic was starting to pile up.

As he got closer to the explosion, however, people started to get out of their cars and shout at him. Noises started to vibrate into his ears and he could barely catch the words 'monster' and 'traitor.' From what he remembers, he did nothing to the people that could have made them mad. He was confused.

"What did I do?" Peter wondered as he landed on one of the rooftops in Hell's Kitchen.

There was a huge pile of black, sticky liquid. He touched some of it and regretted it as soon as he did. Some of it suddenly stuck onto his suit and turned it black. It was like food coloring in a bad way. His symbol was showing but it was colored white along with his eyes.

People continued to shout at him with the same words. He still hasn't found out the reason why people were calling him that but he was going to find out sooner or later. He didn't have time to worry about his suit- he needed to worry about the people. He dropped down onto Hell's Kitchen as he was sent across the street with a hard punch.

"What the hell is that?" Peter groaned as he looked up.

There was a Hulk-shaped person approaching him. Whatever stuck to Peter's suit and made it black must have come from it. It was wearing a full black armor or something that was protecting it. It looked like the is controlling the sticky liquid that got onto him. It was near Peter by the time he was standing.

It grabbed Peter's neck and held him high.

"What are you?"

"Well, my name is Eddie Brock, but you can call me Venom." Venom said with a dark tone, as the black liquid was being removed from his face. "Would you like to help me with my mission?"

"Whatever mission you're talking about is useless!" Peter was struggling to breath. "You'll never be able to do it."

"I can, actually. I just need your powers to rule." Venom tightened his grip on his neck. "I want to rebuild this city to fit my image. I want to remake how man should be made."

A baton hit Venom's face as the liquid got back on his face. Peter got out of his grip by kicking his face and using his web shooters to let him stick to a nearby wall. He landed near Matt as they stood side-by-side.

"Looks like the beer didn't faze you." Matt said, grabbing an extra baton from his back.

"Well, it's kind of complicated. I'll explain it to you later after we kick his ass." Peter replied, using the web to sling himself forward to Venom.

Venom countered it by using some black web to sling Peter to the side of a wall. He hit his head hard trying to remove the black web. As Matt tried to fight Venom, he learned the black web was near impossible to remove as it had a strong grip. He just left it out on his leg as he returned to the fight.

Matt kicked Venom and followed it with a punch to Venom's stomach. Peter shot his web onto Venom's back and pulled him to the wall. He hit his head on the wall as Matt kneed his face. All that did to Venom was make him angrier as he grabbed Matt's leg and broke at least one bone inside.

Matt shouted in pain and all that Peter could do was watch. He soon got into the action by dodging some of Venom's attacks and hashing some out as well. It was an even match, spider versus spider but Venom was showing that he was stronger. He bullied Peter around, throwing him through cars and lamp posts.

Some people were still escaping the battle as they were throwing cars and garbage bins at each other. Venom tried to punch Peter in the face but he dodged it and kicked him hard on the face in retort. Venom got off the ground quickly and grabbed him by the throat. He held him very tight as the liquid was spread to his hands. It was dismantling his web shooters while he was being choked to death. He kicked him in the face and used it as a springboard to land. Peter tried to shoot his webs at Venom but he was shocked to find there was none. He was screwed.

Venom grabbed him again as the liquid held his hands and legs together. Now there was no escaping for Peter; with his web shooters dead, he was stuck. Suddenly, Tony appeared in his Iron Man armor and shot Venom in his face.

"Get the hell away from him!" Tony shouted, as he kept on shooting his blasters.

Venom retaliated by throwing a car at Tony and running away. Peter was surprised that after all of the fighting, he was just running away. Hulk managed to have a fight with Venom as he came from the sky. Hulk threw Venom across two blocks and in the middle of the stoplight.

When Tony and Hulk went to the stoplight, there was no one there. There was only an open hole leading to the sewer. Police started to arrive at the scene and immediately started to investigate the black liquid. Peter was helping Matt up as Tony and Banner in his human form approached them.

"The hell happened to your su-... You know what? Never mind. What happened, kid? Another busy day at the office?" Tony said, as he only got a nod as a response. "Who was that guy anyway?"

"He said his name was Eddie Brock. He even told me his plan." Peter replied as Tony listened. "It was something about ruling New York and remaking the human race, something along those lines."

"Well, what happened to blind boy over there?" Tony asked, pointing at Matt.

"I think his leg is broken. We need to take him to the hospital."

Matt groaned in pain, "I think my right tibia is broken. Just... just get me a good doctor and call Karen."

"Is that your girlfriend?" Banner asked, putting a shirt on. "I know you're in so much pain right now and I should not be asking that question but I'm curious."

"Get me any doctor... but not Banner, please." Matt said, with a faded voice
