If You Give A Toon A Vigilante...

The Mentality Of The Insane

"It's 1933" Peter Benjamin Parker thought to himself. "Without the help of Felicia, I wouldn't be laying down on this bed, or able to pay my own rent. I really owe her something, but I'm not sure what she wants" he was laying in absolute silence until he heard a knock at the door. "At this hour?" Peter thought looking at his grandfather clock, it was 3:30 AM. "Just a second!" He yelled to the person at the door as he got up and very slowly opened the door. "Hey, Spider-Boy" it was Felicia. "It's 'Spider-Man', or just 'The Spider'" Peter corrected her, and she just laughed. "The Black Cat Just closed up Shop, I was wonderin' if you wanted to continue tracin' down that lead with me" she asked. "Of course, Felicia." Peter smiled. "Let's hope for your sake it isn't that new boyfriend of yours" Peter chuckled. "Hey, you know why I was with those two. Advertisement" Felicia scolded. "It was a joke, doll" Peter laughed. "Besides, if not for the last one, you wouldn't be in this apartment" Felicia replied, quite sassily. "Let's get suited up, I'll see you on the other side, White Widow" Peter smiled, grabbing his suit and rushing to the bathroom to change. "This was your Uncle's. You're putting on the clothes of a dead man to enforce retribution onto the city, how morally broken are you, Peter?" Thoughts like this ran through his mind until he put on the mask. He took a deep breath and sighed. "Bacon..." he muttered, remembering his adventures in Miles's universe with The Spectacular Spider-Ham. Every time it seemed that he put on his mask he thought of Peter Porker, and for a moment or two nothing else matters but him... "SPIDER-BOY, COME ON!" Felicia yelled. Peter jumped loosing his train of thought and ran out the door with The White Widow by his side. "It's kinda odd that we were a thing" Felicia chuckled "you're never on time" Peter sighed slightly. "Widow, I couldn't agree more..." he smiled under his mask. "Spider-boy you've got a new glow" Felicia chuckled. "Spider-Man, my friend" he said, taking her by the waist and thwipping to a building. "Yeah, right. How old are you, kid?" Felicia snickered. "Almost 17" he smiled under the mask. "You're 2 years from being a Spider-Kidult" she laughed. "Kidult? What" Peter asked. "An adult with a child's mind" she states. "Oh please" Peter laughed. "After we stop Octavius once and for all, I don't think most will consider me Spider-Boy like you do so insistently" Peter told Felicia. "In my mind you'll always be a child, I met you when you were 15, Peter. You asked for whiskey" Felicia said, grinning. "I did, and I was. Let's let this banter go to rest and find the lead hitman" Peter said and Felicia nodded. Before he knew it Peter was thinking about Spider-Ham once again. "Spider-Boy?" Felicia said, snapping him out of it. "Huh? Yeah?" Peter asked. "Buddy he's in that speakeasy, let's go get him" Felicia said confidently. "Wanna go first, doll?" Peter smiled. "After all, it's ladies first" "such a gentleman" Felicia smiled "See you in a few, Spider-Boy" she said, backflipping off the roof. "Spider-Boy" Peter scoffed and after he heard bullets he ran into the Speakeasy. "EVERYBODY FREEZE! ...no? Eh, worth a shot" Peter chuckles then pulls out a Tommy Gun as he joins Felicia in taking down some goons. "HE'S ESCAPING!" Felicia yelled as Peter went after their lead. Peter tackled the man believed to be the lead hitman, he was wearing a similar mask to Peter's, except it exposed the mouth. The man smiled and it revealed extremely sharp teeth. "Toomes? You take on a new identity birdbrain?" The man then seemed confused. "Toomes? We know no one by that name" the man said. "Then who are you, and who is your leader?" Peter growled as the man started to struggle to get up. "We go by many names" the man said, throwing Peter off of him, then pinning him to a wall. Peter gasped slightly. "We are called Venom, and our leader is a respected Doctor" Venom snarled. Venom got centimeters from Peter's face and licked his mask, saliva dripping from his tongue. "AAAGH! What?! WHAT ARE YOU?!" Peter yelled in fear. "We told you" Venom hissed as he threw Peter to the floor and suddenly took off his mask revealing bright blue eyes, and a messy short blonde haircut. He was silent for a moment. He then looked to Peter, him still traumatized. "you ok there kid?" Venom asked...though his voice was much higher and much more friendly. "Wh...you...y" Peter started. "Oh let me guess, Venom scared you?" He asked, smirking and cocking an eyebrow. "Carnage is scarier. My name is Eddie" He helped Peter up. "What...the hell?! How many names do you go by?!" Peter asked. "3, but I'm human now. Venom and Carnage are just my friends, we met when we were kids" Eddie sighed. "Eddie...who is your leader?" Peter asked. "Oh...um I work at the Bugle so...Jameson?" "This is really screwy" Peter thought to himself. "Eddie, did you know Venom is working for Octavius?" Peter asked. "No way! No no no I told him not to do that!" Eddie panicked. "Eddie it's okay, can you somehow talk some sense into Venom?" Peter asked, now curious about Eddie's mental state. Eddie shook his head. "We can't communicate like this" he said. Felicia bursted in, pointing a gun at Eddie. Peter motioned for her to point the gun down. "Eddie, how do you communicate with the fine gentleman who ruined my clothes?" Peter chuckled. "We have to meditate" Eddie sighed, scratching the back of his head. "It's kinda hard to do that especially in a bustin' place like this, I mean you think anyone could meditate in The PTD?" Eddie chuckled. "No, but The Black Cat is closed, and I have the keys" Felicia said. Eddie smirked. "Widow, I'm afraid it's past my curfew. I must go home now." Eddie sighed. "Hey, Spider I'll see what I can do with Venom" Eddie said smiling. "Good" Peter said. "Get him in control, this is a warning" Peter said. "Fair enough" Eddie said. "Abyssinia" he waved. He sprinted and left the building. "There better have been a good reason for letting him go" Felicia snarled. "He seems to have schizophrenia." Peter stated. "But he closely resembles Toomes due to the teeth and strength" he finished. "What's that...all over your suit?" Felicia asked. "We'll talk about it later, for now...let's head to our apartments." Peter smiled. "Alright Spider-Boy, it's 5 am anyways, go take a rest before your 7 o'clock class." Felicia said, running off. Peter thwipped back to his apartment and took one long shower, remembering things he probably shouldn't of his life. He tried looking at the brighter things and what he came up was his Aunt May, Felicia Hardy, and...oh that Peter Porker.
