Spider Man: Web of Shadows

Chapter 4: Separate

--2 days later--

Peter woke up with his symbiote suit covering his face. He moved it off his face and started to rub his eyes. He spent the last few days studying about the Venom, who recently broke inside a bank, and his alter ego, Eddie Brock. He checked in the internet, apparently Brock was a journalist in the Daily Bugle who got fired by his boss, J. Jonah Jameson, after he went insane and attacked the people inside the building. Sounds like a story which will go viral.

His phone started to ring. He picked it up to see that Mary Jane was calling him.

"Hey. Where are you right now? I'm working with Luke at Harlem." Mary said

"I'm at home. I was just studying this guy called Eddie Brock." Peter started to stand up. "Maybe you know him?"

"Eddie Brock? Never heard of him. Peter, is your suit black or are the newspapers that I'm reading are from the western times?"

"That's why I'm asking you who Eddie Brock is. He's the guy who turned my suit into black with this alien stuff called a symbiote." Peter sat on the couch. "Can I have Luke on the phone?"

"Sure," Mary said, before Luke started to talk on the phone. "Hey kid, what's going on?"

"Have you seen Steve? Or at least Danny?" Peter started to play with a ball because he was getting bored.

"They're not here. The last time I heard from them was last time. They were having a 'lovely' dinner in Wakanda. You should see it, Wanda posted a lot of photos in Instagram."

"Wow. They went to Wakanda without informing me. Why didn't Tony or Bruce go?"

"They said that they were working on some stuff that the government sent them."

Peter then started to jump on the couch. "What?! After two days, they're still working on that?"

"So you did visit Tony. Well, I'm working on my ride right now. See you."

"Alright, see you then." Peter hung up the phone and went over to Aunt May.

She was cooking an omelette along with some bacon on the stove. It looked good for some breakfast as he sat down on the kitchen. He started to text Reed as he waited for breakfast.

"Hello, Mr. Richards." Peter started to text. "I wanted to know if you were available tomorrow. I'll be bringing my 'symbiotic suit' for you to inspect. Hope to see you there!"

"Who are you texting, Peter?" May asked, as she placed a plate filled with the omelette and bacon

"Oh." Peter turned off his phone and started to eat. "It was just Mr. Richards. I wanted to go to his office tomorrow and see if we could possibly work together."

"Will you still be applying for the Daily Bugle? Maybe you can apply on Sunday." May started to sit down

"I promise, I'll apply for it. For now, I have to work with Mr. Stark because he is very busy right now." Peter said, eating his food

"I hope you pass. I would say that it will be a great opportunity for you. You just have to work hard." She sighed. "I bet Uncle Ben would have loved it if you got the job."

"I think so too." Peter looked at the clock and it was 10:00 AM. He was probably going to leave by 10:30 AM.

--25 minutes later--

Peter was sitting on the edge of the building, feet dangling off, and eating some Cheerios. He checked his phone and saw that Reed replied to him, "Hey Peter, you can go to my office tomorrow with your suit. I'll just notify you later if you will either come here in the morning or afternoon."

"I wonder what Mr. Stark is up to?" Peter thought, as he looked at Stark Tower. "Why won't I give Mr. Stark a nice visit."

He put on his suit and jumped off the building again. Less traffic started to flow through the streets as Peter swung around the city. Once again, people started calling him 'Venom'. Maybe they haven't watched or read the news yet that Spider Man has a new suit. Who knows?

He arrived at Stark Tower as he dangled off the side of the building. He looked at the glass, it showed a reflection of himself as he touched his mask.

"I didn't know I was this hideous." Peter said, fixing his mask

Before he could shoot another symbiote, his suit turned back into normal. The symbiote started to separate from his body and fell into the street. He remembered that his web shooters were broken and he didn't have time to repair it.

"No!" Peter looked at the symbiote as it fell down. "Well there goes the only way of defeating Venom."

Peter then crawled up to the balcony of Stark Tower. He enjoyed the view of the building. It was showing almost all of New York. It was a beautiful view before Tony interrupted.

"Looks like the view is beautiful." Tony interrupted Peter looking into the city. "If you want, I can give you this tower in the future."

"Oh no... it's fine Mr. Stark. I don't usually get these views at home. Let alone, the Helicarrier." Peter gazed at the Statue of Liberty in the distance.

"You see that place over there?" Tony asked, pointing at the Statue of Liberty. "Isn't it a beauty? It signifies the Americans."

"It is beautiful." Peter then focused on what was happening. "So, Mr. Stark, I was dangling of your building an-."

"Hold up. Why were you dangling off my building?"

"Oh... someone was calling me Venom. The symbiote in my suit detached and it fell into the street. I feel like Venom did that on purpose so he could get back his Venom."

"Well. There goes our chance of studying about Venom. The only problem is how will we find Venom and actually apprehend him?"

"I'm still thinking about it." Peter said, holding some whiskey. "Can I drink some?"

"Sure. I have more in my fridge anyway." Tony then asked J.A.R.V.I.S., "How many drinks do we still have in the fridge, J.A.R.V.I.S.?"

"About 10 more beers, sir. Would you like me to order you more?" J.A.R.V.I.S. said

"Yes, please." Tony then looked at the streets below.

"I wonder where all the symbiote in my suit went." Peter said

"Kid, I may have found your answer." Tony was still looking at the ground

When Peter came over, large tentacles of symbiotes started to emerge from the ground. It was sticking to the sides of the Stark Tower and slowly pulling it down. Suddenly a voice was heard in the midst of the chaos.

"Spider Man! Give me your gifts and you shall be forgiven." Venom shouted from below

"That doesn't sound good. Not even in the slightest." Peter started to worry.
