I woke up in the middle of the night confused. I thought I took my mask off before I went to bed? I shrugged the question off. I got out of the bed and looked at the floor. That's when I saw it. Black feet connected to black legs connecting to a black torso that connected to black arms and head. My entire suit was black. My spider emblem was completely different, it was white and large. "What the hell?!" I whisper screamed. I looked up and down my body. I felt a sudden strange feeling of emotions. Anger and guilt overwhelming me like a tsunami. "Karen?" No response. "Karen? You there?" I asked. I looked over to the glass box. I'm sorry the empty glass box. "Oh no." I said looking from the box to the suit back to the box and then back to the suit again. "It changed my suit." I grabbed my phone and crawled out of the house. I swung to Avengers Tower knowing that was where I could find Mr. Stark...hopefully. I called him. "Hey kid what's uo?" "ARE YOU AT THE TOWER?!" I screamed in the phone. "Yeah...why?" "Good good that's great. I need some help...MAJOR help. It would be best if the other Avengers were there too." "Why?" "To deaden the blow you might give me." "Oh boy." Tony stated. I swung to the tower and soon arrived.

"Guys meet me in the den. The kid is coming over and I'm going to a guess for something that isn't good." I said over the intercom. "Got it, Tony. I'll be right up." Steve said. I soon received acknowledgements from the others. I was leaning against a wall waiting for the kid to show his spider butt already. "Is he coming or not Tony?" Steve asked. The lights blacked out. I heard skittering across the ceiling. "He's here." I answered. I saw the glowing white eyes of the mask. "Kid, turn my lights back on." "Uh....I don't know...it might be better this way." "Kid. Lights. On. Now." "Okay...don't freak out when I show I'm the only person allowed to do that as of right now." "Just hearing you say that is worrying me." I heard the kid land on the floor in front of me and went to stand next to Natasha. He turned the lights back on. "WHAT  IN THE FREAKING HELL DID YOU DO TO MY SUIT??!!" I exclaimed seeing the suit.
************************************
"Ummm.... I didn't do anything. I woke up and my suit was black." "Kid take the mask off." I went to pull the mask off but found that I couldn't. Webs of the black goo fought back. I was using my super-strength to try and rip the mask off. It wouldn't budge. I clawed at the suit and it took its shape again. I was getting angry which seemed to be making it stronger. I staggered around on the floor trying desperately to rip the suit from my body to no avail. I begsn hearing a voice in my head. You killed Gwen. "No...that's not true. I tried to save her." You killed her and you know it...you just won't admit it..."No I didn't." "Tony who is talking to?" I heard Natasha ask. "No idea... I think this black stuff is an intelligent lifeform. It's messing with Peter's mind." You killed Gwen, like you killed her father...like you killed Allison and Aiden...like you killed your uncle...and now....Cassandra October Stark...is next. "NO!!!! GET OUT OF MY HEAD!!!! GET OFF OF ME!!! SHE IS NOT GOING ANYWHERE!!!" I screamed clamping my hands to my ears squeezing my eyes shut tightly, grimacing my teeth.
I let out cries of frustration and fear. Tears were rolling down my cheeks. I continued to claw at the black goo. You can't defeat me, you can't destroy me, YOU CAN'T WIN SPIDER-MAN!!!! GIVE IN TO YOUR HATRED!! GIVE INTO YOUR ANGER AND SUFFERING AND AGONIZING PAIN!!!! TAKE YOUR REVENGE ON THOSE WHO WISH YOU DEAD!!!! The voice bellowed throughout my head. I screamed trying to drown out the voice. "TONY DO SOMETHING!!!" I heard Steve yell. "Like what Steve huh?! Buy him some icecream and tell its going to be okay. I don't think so." Tony stated. A noise sounded and rang throughout my head painfully. I looked up to see a black gooish figure erupt from my chest and return back to my body. Thor had entered the den and dropped his hammer. "Thor! Argh!" "Hello weird bugman." "Drop your hammer." "But I just did. I would have to pick it up first and then drop it. Silly bug." Thor saidbpicking up the hammer and dropping it. The black stuff erupted from me again and I pulled at it. The black stuff...had a face...white eyes and razor sharp fangs and a long tongue. It screeched loudly in pain. I clawed at it again, pulling it off of me. It came off in chunks as Thor repeatedly picked up and dropped his hammer and I tore at it. I was finally free of the black stuff and collapsed to the floor. My eyes fluttered. Natasha ran to me. I was shivering from the cold. "I didn't do it...I didn't mean to...I didn't want her to be there...it's my fault she's dead....it's my fault that everyone that I know and love are dead." I whispered. "Peter open your eyes for me. Open them...you're okay." Natasha said reassuringly. I nodded my head slowly. Then my eyes snapped open and I heard a sound of excruciating pain. A high pitched scream. A scream? Lydia! I tried to block the scream out but I couldn't. I writhed on the floor clasping my hands to my ears in pain. My ears began to bleed. The pain that I've taken knocked me into a world of darkness and serenity. The black goop traveled down the side of Avengers Tower as it made its escape. It slid down the building as it found its next host walking down the sidewalk in the dead of the night. He will do just fine....
