Spider-man sat in a meeting room with the same people as when he came to speak negotiations weeks ago. They were all sitting in absolute silence. Spider-man had finished repairing his suit now.

It had more tech than his previous one and was designed to protect him from different quirks. It was padded to give him extra resistance. The mask contained a filter to protect him from dangerous gases. His eye lenses were made from a one-way mirror glass to protect him from hypnotic attacks. Overall the suit was more advanced than the previous one and looked better. (It looks like the PS4 suit.)

Spidey looks at All Might, who is in his powerful form and says "All Might, you don't need to strain yourself like this. I already figured out that you have a time limit."

At this statement, All Might transforms into his true, skeleton-like, form and spits out blood.  "H-h-how did you figure it out?!

"It wasn't that hard actually. I noticed how you seemed to start to struggle for no particular reason. So, I did research into your history. You must've gotten pretty ruffed up during your fight with All for One."

Everybody looks at Spidey in pure utter disbelief. Even if his A.I helped him in some way, it was hard to believe that he managed to figure out All Might's secret.

Nezu just sips his tea and says "That's pretty impressive, Peter. You really are a genius."

Spidey scratches the back off his head and says "Thanks, but please, when the mask is on, call me by my hero name. You never know if the area has been bugged. Pun unintended."

Nezu nods "Makes sense. Now, can you explain the message this 'Flint Marko' gave Midoriya."

Spidey nods and starts to explain "Flint Marko is an ex-member of my rouges gallery. Called himself the Sandman. His body is basically made up of thousands possibly millions of grains of sand that he manipulates."

"Alright now we know who Flint is, now the message he gave," Aizawa exclaimed.

Spidey continues "The Sinister Six is a team of my worst enemies. Unfortunately, members change from time to time so I can't say for sure who we are dealing with now, but I can say that they've teamed up with the League of Villains. As for releasing Carnage, that is probably the worst part of all of this"

Everyone was silent. They leaned closer to show that they were listening.

Spidey leaned back on his chair and pinched the bridge of his nose in frustration. How was he going to explain this?

"Carnage is probably my craziest and most dangerous foe. Carnage is part of an alien parasite-like race known as 'Symbiote'. Symbiotes look like goop that survives by attaching itself to a host. When attached, the symbiote increases its host's strength, speed and durability. It can also shape itself into different shapes like axes and swords. The symbiote does have its own personality and can either manipulate the host's emotions or take full control."

Everybody in the room was now giving Spidey their biggest attention. If symbiotes were that dangerous in general, then they couldn't imagine how dangerous one called Carnage could be.

Spidey just keeps going "Unlike most symbiotes, Carnage can spread itself like a virus. It can infect multiple hosts. That is one of the reasons it is so dangerous."

"If the league really is planning on releasing Carnage on the city, and it can spread like a zombie virus, how can we hope to stop it." Present Mic asked rather nervously.

Honestly, Spidey couldn't blame him. The heroes of this universe weren't used to these level of attacks, but Mic would have to get grip on things if they hoped to win.

"Actually Mic, you will be one of our keys to victory."

Everybody looked at Spidey confused "Huh?"

Spidey explains "All symbiotes share a common weakness, sound and high temperatures. Just about anybody with a sound or fire quirk will be vital to defeating Carnage."

This causes Present Mic to grab Aizawa around the neck ad say "You hear that Eraser? I'm the key to our victory!"

Aizawa just states in a tired tone "You're A key, Mic."

"So we now know how to defeat Carnage. Now we need to know the 'where' and the 'when' of the attack." Nezu states

Spider-man just sighs "I don't know that, but I think I know who might."

"Who?" All Might asks, not willing to wait any longer.

Spider-man reaches under the table and pulls out a canister containing a familiar black substance. Right, before opening it, Spider-man says one-word "Venom."

Before anybody could say anything, Spidey has already opened the canister and released the symbiote. Venom jumps at Spider-man almost immediately and bonds with him.

Inside Spider-man's mind

Spidey opens his eyes to find himself in a black void. "Wow... this definitely didn't happen last time we bonded.

"That is because last time we didn't need to talk."

Spidey turns around to face Venom. Venom's face seemed to be apart of the void. Spider-man asks "How did the six get a hold of you."

"They attacked me and Eddie with sonic weapons. We fought hard be they managed to separate us."

Spidey continues to interrogate the symbiote. "How did we get here. All I know is that one minute I'm swinging through New York and the next I'm in Japan in another dimension where superpowers are the norms."

"I do not know how we got here. I was trapped and was unable to see, but when I was saved by the Sandman, he gave me a time and place to meet him at."

Spidey nods "Tell me."

Real-world

Not even a moment after Venom entered Spidey did he open his eyes and says "I know where we can get the info we need."
