"You're moving, this town isn't safe anymore?" May said, striking Peter with her words. "What?" Peter asked dumbfounded. His computer is playing Fresh Prince of Bel Air while his jaw layed slacked before May. "Pete, this town isn't safe, they just caught a criminal who was a high tier. I want you to be safe, your ability isn't strong enough." Peter sighs. "May, Please!" he pleads. "The decision is final, I enrolled you into Wellston, you start next week. I know this is sudden and I am sorry, but this area is dangerous and we can't trust the authorities to help us." Peter watches as May closes the door. She sighs as she walks away disappointed with herself. Peter looks at his childhood room and begins to get off his chair and lay down on his bed. "Shit" he utters as he stares out of the sky window. He looks at his arms as the marks from his webshooters begin to reverse themselves. He feels his ability activate as holes open near the wrists of his arms. "Holy…." Peter then shoots out a string of webs, the silky substance soothed the inside of his arm as it shot out. "No way" he utters as he looks out to see the horizon of his town. He then looks back down at his arms and smiles.
Peter goes to school the next day and tells his friends the bad news. "Oh no, Pete!" Stacy yells. The others all begin to talk among themselves as the news of Peter's sudden departure hits hard. Peter looks at his friends' faces, the sadness makes him want to take those smiles and turn them upside down. "Well, screw it, before I head to Wellston, we go all out! Let's ball out for the week." The group pauses as they stare at him, jaws slacked open.
"WELLSTON!"
Peter chuckles. "You didn't tell us it was there, that's like the number one school in the nation." Stacy says. "I know a trio of jerks who go there right now. That place is rich, makes us look like weaklings." Shawn said.
"Who?" Peter asks. "Oh, just my ability twin, you know those people who you have a common ability with that are completely unrelated to you, we met in a fight once on the streets, and some of his friends. A pink girl and her brother who can shoot lightning. Not sure if you'll get to see them a lot though. They're royalty." Peter sighs. "Well who cares then. It's purely an academic change, you guys will still always be the people who reached out to me here. Now come on, let's get some drinks!"
Peter, Stacy, Sharon, and Tracy all hang out everyday before Peter has to move to Wellston. A week goes by and Peter has made amends with this move, he wishes his aunt well and waves his friends goodbye before he heads on the plane, then when everybody leaves, he calls Tracy, she looks back at him, he blows her a kiss. Tracy blushes as she recalls what happened last night.
"By everyone, see you all tomorrow!" She yells. Everyone, including Peter yells goodbye, however she prevents Peter from leaving by grabbing his collar. "Uhuh, not you. Come back here." She smiles as she leaps to the back of her room. "Come on, let's watch a movie, it's our last night together!" Tracy puts her hands behind her back. "Oh, uh, okay, sure," Peter says nervously. He goes back inside, he and Tracy are in the dorm bed room, Tracy is pulling up a bootleg of Spider-man movie she had stored in her bag. "Woah, you have one of those?! You could get in serious trouble, you didn't have to-!" Tracy cuts him off. "Yeah well, but I did, come on, let's watch it." Peter blushes at the sight of Stacy flustering herself around him.
Stacy cuddles close to Peter, right away he starts to notice something is off, but not in a bad way, he doesn't fight it. He and Stacy watch the movie, as they watch they get to the scene where MJ and Peter meet on London Bridge. As Peter and MJ awkwardly stand there, talking about what just happened, MJ pecks Peter on the screen right in front of them. "Hey, you ever think it's kinda weird how you have the same name and powers as this guy?" Stacy asks. "Well, it's kinda weird yeah." Peter says, chuckling a little. The bootleg then cuts to another Spider-Man film, one set almost a decade from the previous one. Spider-Man finishes beating a group of criminals up, hanging upside down MJ leans closer to him and cups his face. Stacy and Peter are unaware of what's unfolding on the screen.
"And how you have the same powers as him" she adds. "Ummm, yeah actually, I guess I liked him so much as a hero, I was destined to get them" Peter responded nervously as Stacy started to lean closer to Peter, she spoke softer in his ear. "And you ever think it's kinda weird that you both go out, and do the same kinda work, saving people. I wonder what else is the same?" Peter laughs nervously. "Ahahaha, what are you doing, what kinda....." Stacy puts her finger over Peter's mouth. "It's also kinda weird that they both have a girl who happens to know about them, and really, really likes them." Stacy pulls out Peter's mask from his bed he brought over to her dorm. "Right here, right now?" Peter asks as Stacy gives Peter a little kiss on the lips. "I know two things about you" she says. Peter smiles back, his mind racing and excited, but his body all calm and Chad- like. "Oh yeah, how about you tell me one, and I'll show you the other." Stacy chuckles.
"Tehe, okay, one thing I know about you, is that.....You're our very own Spider-Man. Okay, now it's your turn. What are you gonna show me?" Stacy asks. Peter gives Stacy a kiss, the two start to make out for a little bit as the movie plays in the background. Peter lifts Stacy up and puts his hand on her waist, while she wraps her hands around his neck, deepening the kiss for both of them. Enjoying every bit of each other, they go on for the rest of the night.
Present day.
A text goes through Peter's phone right as the plane takes off.
Stacy: Call me 😘
After a two hour flight, Peter gets off the plane and heads to his Uber, he then heads to Wellston dorms, from there he heads into the school on his first day, just blending in the school like a normal person, trying not to show his powers, even though Stacy was someone he trusted knowing, the risk was to great. He played cripple. This pattern continued all the way to his junior year, then he noticed someone who started this whole thing, he was with the royals all the time, just like he was back at Quinton, a part of him was happy that this person moved on from their past, he even had a couple friendly conversations with him to and from class, and even played a couple of squad games with him on the PX. They became mutual friends. Of course, Pete never told him where he was from originally, he wanted that to all be behind him, he wanted to give the man his peace.
"Nice to meet you Pete, I'm John…"
John Doe.
The two shake hands, yet Peter always knew him, yet despite the bitter history, he wasn't sure if it was all that bad. The enemy of his enemy was his friend, and this was yet to be tested. Of course as cripples they had to deal with bullies, it never dragged them down, hell they even fought some bullies together once, as cripples.
Life was good in school, but out of school.
It was Amazing.
Peter jumps off of buildings in broad daylight, he starts to get street credit for his works as Spider-Man, living a double life gives him a thrill, going to the nations most prestigious private school, being a vigilante at nights and on weekends, and going to Quinton every Sunday to see Stacy and the squad.
Peter was happy.
Until one day, he got a text from Stacy, that turned into forty missed calls, and five voice mails of Stacy crying.
"Come quick Shawn is, is…"
Dead.
"What?! How? No, this can't be.I had it all, why does it feel like it's about to be slowly taken away from me?" Peter thought" I have to go back. Peter says as he whips out his phone. It dails, no pick up. "Come on pick up dammit!" He calls again, it goes through. Students walk all around Wellston as they laugh and point at Peter. "Hey Aunt May, can I come back for the vacation?"
"Of course, but be careful, you know why I moved you right? I don't want you on Quinton streets alone at night!" Peter nods. "Of course, I promise!" he yells. "Alright, see you tomorrow."
Peter arrives at Quinton at six in the morning. He drops his stuff off at his Aunt's house and stays for a couple hours, he then goes out to meet Tracy and the others at a Wobba Bobba like they scheduled.
Meanwhile at the dorms of Quinton.
"Okay, let's go" Stacy says. Tracy sniffs as Sharon helps her walk forward. "It's okay Tracy, we'll find the guy and make him pay. We don't need some dumb authorities." The three head off to where Shawn died, the reports said that Shawn noticed someone in a mask luring a little kid into an alleyway, he followed the suspect and saw him activate his ability, but it wasn't anything normal. It scared him, Shawn then activated his ability, but was no match for him. Five minutes later his body was found mutilated and unrecognizable, only DNA tests could tell us who the victim was. Stacy, Sharon, and Tracy went to the alley way Shawn was found in. They start their own investigation when a man approaches the three girls.
Peter arrives in the Wobba Bobba an hour late in his uniform. "Guys I'm so sorr-" He looks to find the restaurant empty. He finds a text on his phone.
Babe, meet us at this location. 2 hours ago.
Then a new text is sent in with Stacy's coordinates.
"We think Shawn is here." Peter looks at the text oddly. "What the, since when did Tracy ever call me babe, that's just unlike her. Usually I call her babe, and she calls me spidey…" Peter goes on top of an apartment complex and puts on his costume, he then webs to the warehouse were he was told to go to. His Sixth sense is going wild the whole journey. "Please, all of you, be okay!" He thought. He lands on the roof of the warehouse and looks in from a skylight, what he finds makes him horrified.
Meanwhile, Jason is hitting Sharon with a wrench, she screams into her gag as the mad man wacks her. His friends in brutal condition, with wounds implying inflicted and enduring torture. One of Stacy's eyes bled onto the pavement floor as Jason walks over to her and binds her eyes with a blindfold, he then pulls out some more torturer instruments when suddenly the cart goes flying and cuts Jason. He looks back as his bloodshot eyes glow a sinister red. Behind him is Peter suited up. "It's another one of you annoying Spider-freaks!" Jason yelled. "As if those two dumbos east weren't enough!" Peter only stares at Stacy and the rest of his friends with blind rage as his baby blue eyes glow. "FUCK YOU MAN, I'M GONNA-!" Jason throws Peter across the room, slamming him into a wall. He then cracks a knuckle as he puts one some fancy finger armor acting as brass knuckles. "Ohohohohoho, this will be fun!" Jason roars as Peter reciprocates the energy. He goes charging into Jason, however every time Peter attacks, Jason finds a way to counter, eventually leading to him breaking one of Peter's legs. Suddenly everything goes black, Peter is looking around the warehouse, all he sees is darkness, out of that darkness is a face. Something within him comes to life, as if the aura itself took on something new.
"Hello Peter" a voice spoke. "Who, who are you?" Peter asked. "That's not the question you should be asking. What you should be asking is, are you ready?" Peter looks at the entity's face confused. The entity had ling narrow white eyes and razor sharp teeth of the same color, however it only appeared to Peter in a smokey green fog.
"I am what you call your spider sense, in the flesh and blood, you see, I'm not part of your kit, I'm in fact you. Your consciousness, you rejected me, pushed me back, and kept me hidden. Now that you need me the most, you've finally let me talk to you. I am your very flesh." Peter begins to get up as darkness surrounds his body. "What? How is this possible, are you then, literally me?" he asks. "Yes, and I can help you, in exchange, you give me this power of yours after words." Peter looks and sees his friends, all crying in pain, begging for death, unable to bear it anymore. "Alright then, what are we waiting for!" Peter roars as he reaches out his arm.
"AHAHAHAHAHA, YOU FOOL!" The entity thought as it suddenly took life, and created a tongue so long it could not fit in its mouth. "You release me! I shall do my will upon this world, nothing shall stop me, not even the light of The Golden God!"
Peter feels a sense of darkness surrounding him, and suddenly he turns into a beast. "It's been a while…"
Jason.
Jason looks at the entity with horror. "Same to you…" he utterned.
Venom.
The massive creature took on the mantle as the new spiderman. It has the spider crest on its chest, its skin liquidy and black. Red all over its mouth and big white eyes with no pupils staring at Jason. It clentches its fists as its long fingernail claws dig into its flesh. "Is the government done with its experiments on your kind?" Jason grits his teeth. "You shut up!"
Jason and Venom clash, Venom tries to consume Jason, but Jason is one step ahead, he uses his quick reflexes and makes as much sound as he can, with each noise he strikes at the beast, ripping it's flesh off until Peter is exposed, however Venom regenerates and strikes back, the battle lasts for hours, both of them ripping each other's limbs off and growing them back, this goes on until Venom makes a fatal error, he misses a punch that ends up exposing Peter, allowing Jason to stab him and pull him out. He throws Peter on the ground, breaking his back, Venom starts to fade into dust, turning white. "Oh well, it was a nice effort, devil!" He yells as Peter could still hear Venom's anguish, as his beast was just starting to unleash itself into the world, escaping his dying body as its spirit flees. "Dammit, it used me." Peter thought. He then looks back up at Jason, who kept on the bloody serial killer mask. "No, please, let them go, I'm the one you want" Peter says. "I just can't do that, that wouldn't be fun now would it."
"Please…" Jason rejects Peter's request for mercy. "AHAHAHAHA, no, I'll kill them first instead!" Peter reaches out his arm in hopes the devil will reattach itself to him. "NOOOOOOOO!" Jason goes to un-gag them as well as cut Tracy's blind fold off. One by one he finishes the job, all while Peter watches helplessly. Their last words echo as Jason grins with delight. He shoves his blade into Tracy's throat. He then turns to a crying Peter, who can't unsee what he just saw.
"Oh God, I'm so sorry, I failed, I-"
STAB!
Peter's eyes widen as he slips in the grips of death. Tears streaming down his eyes, as he remembers his life, thinking about the good times despite having a horrible end. Regret settled within him as he realizes what could have been if life had played out just a little differently. He looks over to see Stacy with everyone all gathered in a circle. He reaches out his arm as he laid on the sky like ground in his bloody vigilante costume. "Please, let's just forget about it all." Stacy looks at Peter and smiles. "I love you…."
The Golden God found himself on top of Jason as his black gloves turned red. Jason screamed out of pure agony as the world's greatest superhero put him down. His sidekick walks over and recognizes a fellow vigilante, a classmate, someone who never got the same treatment as him in life. Someone who couldn't make a name for themselves.
"Peter" Stacy says as she holds his face. "We don't have to worry about that useless planet anymore" Stacy says as she kisses him. He looks back at the globe, watching all the chaos and carnage destroy lives, like ripping pages out of the stories of many books. "We did our best, but being the main character down there is to miss out here. Why suffer more? For glory? We are rich up here, we are loved. You are loved." Peter looks into Stacy's eyes as a tear streams down. "From the day I saw you, I've always loved you. I've obsessed and I've schemed to make you mine, and you finally are up here. Don't look back, stay with me." Peter wipes his tears as he keeps Stacy in an embrace. "I've always wanted to save you, to keep you safe, to start a life with you Stacy. I love you too. Always and forever!" Stacy smiles as the two find themselves embraced. "Soon, soon we'll get what we want. And if not in this life, in the next life. You will always be my hero…
Peter Parker
Later that day as warehouse workers clear out the warehouse that just became a crime scene. Lazerbeam and The Golden God walk away.
"Yo, Eddie, good talk" Eddie nods and smiles. "You too man!" A man named Eddie walks away as the small black fragment of the organism crawls up Eddie's pant leg.
The End
