Bitten

Chapter 23

I reached the foot of the stairwell and looked at the others. They were trying to act casual. "You guys are terrible actors." I stated walking into the kitchen rolling my eyes and shaking my head. "Scott. We need to leave town." I said. "Why?" Scott asked. "Venom has friends." Theo said. "Dangerous?" Scott asked. "No the kind that give you boxes of chocolate and flowers on Valentines day. Yes dangerous, dumbass." I said sarcastically. "Beacon Hills has a smaller population than New York city. Something tells me that Venom isn't going to stop with us." I said glancing at Theo. "Stiles is right. I don't know when I will become him again. Besides Beacon Hills is better environment to deal with supernatural crazy." Theo said. "That is true." I said nodding my head. "Fine. We go to Beacon Hills but we go today. The sooner we go to California the better." I said running up to my room and grabbing my stuff.

I entered my room and looked at my flowing curtains. I furrowed my eyebrows. "Weird." I walked to the window. My spider senses went off and I jumped up into the air and spun around mid-air and dodged an incoming attack. I pinned the attacker to the floor. "Felicia?!!" I shouted. "Damn. How am I supposed to surprise you if you always know when I'm here?" Felicia asked with a smirk. I smiled. "Well. I can't turn off my heightened senses, Cat." I said smiling. Felicia craned her neck forward and pressed her lips to mine. I pulled her off the floor. "STILES?!!" Scott shouted from outside the room. "WHAT'S GOING ON?!" Derek shouted. "Those your friends?" Felicia whispered in my ear. "Yep. Overprotective group of assholes. But I gotta love 'em." I said with a sigh. "Can I meet them?" Felicia asked. I looked at Felicia with wide eyes. "Seriously?" I asked. "STILES. OPEN THE DOOR BEFORE I DO." Scott stated. I rolled my eyes and groaned. "I swear to God, Scott, I'm going to skin you." I said opening the door to reveal Scott and Derek. I webbed their mouths shut. "I'm pretty sure the entire neighborhood heard you, True Asshole." I stated.

I turned around to see Felicia was gone. I sighed. "Great." I muttered under my breath. I headed downstairs and slumped onto the sofa next to Natasha who was sitting on the armrest. "Red. You gonna introduce me or what?" A familiar voice stated. I jumped up off the sofa and spun around looking at Felicia who was standing in the doorway with her arms crossed. "Did-did you just pick the lock?" I asked her. "No. I said "Open Sesame." Then the door magically flew open." Felicia said. "Who is she?" Tony asked. "This is Fel-Black Cat." I said. Felicia furrowed her eyebrows and smirked. "Black Cat? The Cat Burglar?" Natasha asked. "The one and only. Name's Felicia. I'm Stiles girlfriend." Felicia said walking gracefully around the room and tracing her finger along Captain America's shoulders.

"Kid's going for the bad girl this time. He's taking after me." Tony said with a smirk and wink. I rolled my eyes. "Girlfriend?" Cassie asked. "After May died, Stiles was in a bad place. He felt like he was falling apart and thought that he was going to lose. I helped him...." Felicia said hesitating. "Through it." Felicia finally finished. "That was a pretty long hesitation there." Hawkeye said crossing his arms with a small smirk. A slight blush appeared on Felicia's face. "Okay. Forget the 'getting me though a tough time.' Thing. Okay? How are you guys going to help us?" I asked looking at Tony and Bruce. "You tell us kid. You have more experience in solving supernatural mysteries than any of us in the building combined." Tony said. I sighed. "Great." I muttered. "Okay. So the last time we used the Shugendo Scroll to defeat the Nogitsune." I stated. "What's the Shugendo Scroll?" Steve asked. "An ancient Japanese scroll that explains the only way to defeat the Nogitsune. You change the host." I said. "A Nogitsune is a fox. Foxes don't like wolves. So we thought by Scott biting the Nogitsune he would die. Apparently we were wrong." I said with sigh looking at my arms that were covered with faint black veins. "Well...What if you got bit instead of the Nogitsune before he becomes his own person?" Scott asked looking at me. "What? You mean bite me and I have to become a werewolf-spider-freak? Yeah, no thanks." I said sarcastically rolling my eyes. "Think about it. The Scroll says to change the body of the host, right?" Lydia stated. "Well Scott changed the Nogitsune. Not you. So, if Scott gives you the bite then we can get the Nogitsune outside of you." Derek added gesturing to Scott. "What that's it? That's your guys big plan?" Tony asked unamused. "To bite the kid? Are you insane?!" Tony asked. "I got bit by a radioactive spider and look how well that turned out for me." I said. "Yeah. Your uncle died, Gwen died, her dad died, and now your aunt just died. Think of all the people you can kill as a werewolf. I can't believe I just said that." Tony said jabbing a finger into my chest. I clenched my jaws. "Think of all the people Stiles can kill as me, though. Millions. That sounds so much more fun don't you think?" I said demonically as my eyes went black and a devilish smirk on my face. Everyone around me tensed up and got into defensive positions. "Stiles?" Felicia asked. "Stiles is....temporarily unavailable." I said looking at the beautiful girl with a smirk. "Kid. Fight this. You have to fight through this." Steve said. I laughed. "Don't you get it? Stiles isn't coming back this time. Spider-Man is dead. He's gone." I spat as black tendrils slowly traveled up my spider suit. Fight through this Stiles. Fight it! "He's fighting. It's useless. I've only gotten stronger since he murdered someone out of anger that fateful night after his fight with Isaac about Cassandra....Wait. Did he not tell you guys?" I said with a smirk. "What are you talking about? Stiles never killed anyone." Scott said. "That's where you're wrong Dog-Boy. Stiles here, was blinded by so much fury and anger that he murdered a carjacker in cold-blood that tried to steal his beloved Jeep. Beat him to a pulp. Couldn't even recognize the poor man. I guess that's what you get for trying to carjack a pissed off possessed superhuman that's killed before. When he finally came to his senses he couldn't believe it. So, he hid the body in the woods burying in the ground. So, yes, Scott McCall. Mieczyslaw "Stiles" Stilinski has killed someone. Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man isn't as friendly as he says he is." I said slamming Scott into the wall. I caught a punch by Scott and chuckled. I twisted my arm quick and violently and broke Scott's arm. Scott let out a scream of pain. Which I absorbed. He dodged an attack from Steve and jumped into the air and kicked Steve in the face. He went to the floor and instantly knocked me from under my feet. I was pinned to the floor by Thor. "Weird insect boy. I suggest you calm yourself." Thor said. I struggled underneath the Asgardian's godlike strength. "Thor Odinson. The So-called Asgardian God of Thunder. You think you could hurt a child?" I asked him with a smirk on my face. "I'd never purposefully hurt a child. However, a demon...that's another story." Thor said. "Thor!" Natasha exclaimed as my face started to turn red. I growled. My pitch black eyes showing no emotions. The faint black veins traveled up my neck. I screamed and I slammed a black tendril into Thor in his moment of distraction and he flew back into the wall. I got to my feet unsteady. "I think we just pissed him off. Somebody do something!" Lydia said as Steve took a defensive position in front of her with his patriotic vibranium shield. "Stiles stop this!!!" Felicia yelled. I was about to slam a fist into her when I stopped. I looked  at her confused as I furrowed my eyebrows. My eyes returned to normal for a split second and went back to the pitch blackness. I looked at my symbiote-covered arm and felt an invisible force pulling my fist away from Felicia. I screamed out in pain and pressed my hands to my head as I collapsed to the floor. "That stupid spider-freak." I said with a groan before I let out another scream. Memories of the people I've lost flashed before my eyes in a loop getting faster. I got to my feet painfully and stumbled a few feet before a voice rang out throughout the room. "You should not be this strong. You should be weak. I should be your only form of strength. How are you doing this? It's impossible. Nothing is impossible, you demonic piece of fox shit. You just forgot who you're possessing." I said struggling with myself. "What's wrong with him?" Steve asked. "He's fighting himself." Bruce said. "Himself?" Derek asked. "Think of the Nogitsune as Mr. Hyde and Stiles as Dr. Jekyll. Two sides of the same coin. An inner struggle inside it is the biggest fight that Stiles will ever have to go through. I know this because I speak from experience." Bruce said. "Well someone needs to do something." Clint said aiming an arrow at me. My eyes went Hazel for a split second again. "What if we knocked him out?" Tony asked. "No!" I screamed pressing my hands to my head. "Knocking...knocking me out....will only...make him....stronger and have....control." I said breathing fast. "I will not lose again!!!" I screamed as the room went black. The black symbiote enveloped me and the Nogitsune took over. The lights flickered. "I'm baaaack. And I brought some friends." I said demonically as the symbiote stopped at my neck. I smirked as a gust of wind sounded multiple times. A metallic ringing sounded five times. Five pairs of yellow-green glowing eyes appeared behind me. I chuckled. "Oh shit!" Scott said glowing his own Alpha red eyes. "Oni!" Derek said peering through glowing ice cold blue eyes. The lights flickered and the five demonic samurais advanced on the two groups of people. I walked backwards into the shadows. "You can't escape me, Spider." A female voice said from behind. I turned around to see Felicia with glowing green cat-like eyes. "What are you gonna do, Kitty?" I asked her. "Get Stiles back." Felicia said pouncing at me and wrapping her legs and my chest and flipping me to the floor. She pressed her diamond clawed-hands to my chest and pinned me. "Bring back Stiles. You demonic asshole." Felicia said sitting above me. "She slammed her fist into my face and I kicked her off me. I got to my feet and stuck to the ceiling. I jumped off after nearly dodging an arc blast from Iron Man. I landed behind Natasha who rapidly threw punches at me. She caught me off guard by hitting me in the chest and throwing me to the floor. "Sorry kiddo but I need to get you back." Natasha said before jamming her stun baton into me. I kicked her off me and the symbiote slammed her into the wall. I leaned back just in time to dodge Steve's punch. I back-flipped over him and slammed my foot into his back then shot black webs at him attaching him to the wall. I felt extreme pain when Thor slammed his fist into my jaw and I went flying out the house through the wall. I crashed into a parked car and fell to the ground. I groaned. The black symbiote receded and disappeared. I was back to normal but still in the Nogitsune state of mind. I looked up slowly to see the pack exiting the house morphed except for Kira and Lydia. The Avengers stood next to them. I groaned and stood up slowly and painfully. I touched my lip and pulled my hand back to see blood. "Kid. You gotta fight this. If you don't. I'll put you down. Believe me, I don't want to but I will if I have to." Tony said aiming his glowing armored hands at me. "Stiles." Felicia said taking a step towards me. "Stiles isn't here anymore." I said grabbing the car door behind me and tore it off its hinges. "Stiles is dead. Gone. It's only Nogitsune!" I screamed throwing the door at the group of people. "Oh god." Clint said. Iron Man blasted the hunk of metal away from him. "Okay. That's it. I'm putting you down, Dr. Jekyll." Tony said blasting me with arc reactor blasts. I flew back over the car and smashed through the house of an occupied living room of a house. The screams of the people inside sounded. I growled getting up. "I'm borrowing your refrigerator. Not really." I said grabbing the fridge and throwing it out the house and running out the house and slamming my fist into the metal mask of Iron Man. I grabbed him and kneed him the gut. I sensed Captain America and spun around and used Iron Man as a human shield. I kicked him into Captain America. Thor threw his hammer me and dodged out the way. "You missed me, Bitch." I said looking at the Asgardian. "Did I?" Thor asked with a smirk his arm still raised. My eyes went wide and my eyebrows raised. I was too late as his hammer slammed into my gut and I flew through the air and Thor slammed my fist into my face. I flew back and my face crashed into Captain America's shield. I flew back again and was met with Iron Man and his metallic fist. I finally hit the ground dazed and my vision blurry.  I saw Felicia walking to me. My eyes went back to normal as I slowly rose to my feet again. I clutched my side and hissed. "Felicia? What happ-" I said before falling into her arms unconscious.
