Spiderman Fan Fiction ❯ Spider-Man Self Destruction ❯ Beginnings start with a bullet ( Chapter 1 )

[ Y - Young Adult: Not suitable for readers under 16 ]

“With great power comes great responsibility. Boy you sure weren‘t lying Uncle Ben, but does having these responsibilities mean that I have to live the life of a loner. I wish it were a lot easier than this, but this power I have I will use to protect the city that you loved. After all, I am your friendly neighborhood Spider-man. Sleep well Uncle Ben and you to Aunt May. I am so sorry I could not bring myself to accept Mephisto’s deal “to keep you alive but I would be hated by all of New York, not be with Mary Jane and have to deal with the Father and Son Osborne Goblin duo. As well as all of the other enemies I‘ve made over my years as Spider-Man.” I do not know if I am being weak by not taking this challenge this deal… Mephisto’s deal because I did not want to be responsible for you and Uncle Bens’ death. On the other hand, maybe it was because you said on your deathbed during the séance that was orchestrated by Madame Web that you were proud of me for being Spider-man and that you did not want me to feel bad, that it was just your time. However, I cannot believe that and if it weren’t for MJ then I really would have killed Fisk that night that you... After the Marvel Alliance when hero and villains alike fought to save our universe then this civil war Dr. Doom, Reed Richards and Johnny Blaze had told me that Blackheart and especially Mephisto’s words are never to be trusted. So from red and blue I go to black and it sticks more and more each time the day goes on. For their price is always worth more than the prize and the fact that I promised you I’d protect Mary Jane even if I lose myself to darkness, I will do it the only way I can. The only true way to protect her now is to let her go.         Spider Man™ Self Destruction By: Tsunami King   (1) (Beginnings start with a bullet ) (This is now how I see myself, nothing but a wounded hero broken within the pending darkness The more I try to free myself to the red and blue the more the black sticks.)

New York City

9:34 pm

Light rain 96 degrees

As the citizens work tirelessly rebuilding New York, from the reoccurring damages I work just as hard to protect it. Now as the towers reach their completion I came to an impasse, I feel like I might be starting to lose my powers again or is it something else. The last time I lost my powers was the week of September a few years back I know if I had my powers I could have been a big help I could have saved some people. I guess fate is telling me that I am destined to be alone. Why I don‘t know, I guess it is to protect those dear to me. I guess this is why I‘ve felt that I had to break up with MJ? After all I could not stand it if she ended up like Gwen Stacy, or Aunt May bless their beautiful souls. Lately however I have been having these pains in my hands. And it’s not the pain from the stingers I gained when I cheated death.” (Recap the Friendly Neighborhood Spider-man Series). “This is a pain I remember all too well back from when I was becoming the Man-spider, am I losing my powers again will I be useless to my city again, albeit it feels slightly different this time. I began to search for Dr. Moira McTaggert but she was out of town on leave with Kraven, it appears they remarried for the third time. As I resolved my mind, I finally went to go to see Dr. Connors, it happened. (BOOM!) An explosion, not to far from here; good thing this is my normal web-swinging pattern heading home. Oh, wow home man at times like this I wish I still had a place to call that. And a wife and a family to call my own. pondered Spidey as he swings on into the night.

“This random destruction is so welcome to alter my somber mood my spider senses didn’t activate in time that’s weird, this means it has to be Venom or possibly Carnage maybe both! How did I know? Those chills going down my spine that only happen when they are near, since the symbiote gives them the ability to elude my senses my body throughout my mutations set this up as a defense. However, if it is them, how did they return from that last incident in Canada against Alpha Flight? Moreover, I wonder who it that killed Wendigo recently was. I have no clue, but who is the target? …Duh, what a stupid question that is. Time to speed to the rescue I hope the damage isn’t too bad.”

“Damn I really hope that I don‘t suddenly lose my powers again, and I’ve got to stop this destruction before anyone else gets hurt or me, so I guess I got to end this quickly. But of all things why did I think about that?” I reach the scene of the crime . “Hey are you looking for me. Huh what the?… your not Venom or Carnage albeit you have their peculiar taste in faces how about you calm down and I’ll take you to the salon and you can get your nails done” he said perched on a ledge a few feet over head to a female in a yellowish orange symbiote. Standing in front of a police car torn in two set ravaged by the blaze holding two police officers up one in each hand.

“Spider-man we’ve finally found you little bug, now come with us,” she demanded. As she, held two unconscious somewhat petite police officers by their necks with ease with her menacing glare.

“How about… not, because yellow is really not a good color for you! Besides we‘ve only just met what would the women of America think, I‘ll just date any female who trashes New York. Sorry but I have an image to uphold!” (Spider-sense) “Danger, aw man can’t I ever have a normal super-villain. But I got to move quickly I got to get her away from those cops.” He pondered as he jumped to the next ledge across the street. She began to scream and the sound of her shrill cry crumbled the ledge spidey just leapt on. “Damn I make them scream and we didn’t even go to the bedroom, damn I almost didn‘t have time to jump does she have Spider-sense too. I need to try to access a counterattack and end this ASAP.” quickly jumping to the next ledge.

“Our name is Scream and we are happy to bring you pain,” she said.

“Wow Scream what an original name I fought someone with that name before, bet you stayed up on that one all night huh and I hope you know copyright infringement is against the law. I guess everyone’s name can’t be as cool or original as mine.” he shot back. “Why couldn’t you use one like Tarantula or Spider-Woman… wait those are taken aren’t they? Well maybe um Spider-Girl nope I plan to give that name to my daughter. Maybe I could talk with your parents and I give you a better original name like deranged lunatic, or Spider-Hippie since you look like a tie-die reject if you let go of the cops? If you don‘t like those maybe you can have Spider on Acid.”

“Maybe not Parker.” she said. “We just need you to come with us. If you come they will live, a fair trade don‘t cha think?”

“What did you just say? A fair trade I don’t think so it’s never fair when one player holds all the cards especially in blackjack. I‘ve been to Las-Vegas before I want a new deck this table is rigged. This totally sucks, I got to deal with the revenge with a symbiote from hell that shouldn‘t even exist, and not to mention my powers acting funny and the breakup with MJ. Fine Scream you win I’m coming over to you, just let them go and don’t you get all touchy feely on me. But who the hell is she and why is she looking for me of all people.”

“Good boy Parker I’ll let them go only you come to me right now.” She released the police officers when Spider-Man was in range. Then she flips over his head and jumped on his back in mere seconds. “C’mon tiger let’s see what you got.” she said latching her legs to his back. “Let’s get it on tiger HAHAHAHA!” As her exposed tongue slowly licked the nape of his neck up and down very softly, in a somewhat sensual motion as she began to laugh.

“Wait a minute… MJ?” I wondered. “Is that even possible did Venom reproduce again or was it Carnage and is this really MJ. Crap, this is going to be a tough one, why is she even here? Is this revenge because I didn’t want her in any more danger? I know I‘d hurt her but did I drive her to this?”

Motel

“Hey tiger are you okay you’ve been so quiet since Aunt May… is everything alright.” asked Mary Jane as she sat beside her husband on the hard motel bed. “Because tiger you can tell me anything that is bothering you that’s why I’m your wife. And here with you even if in a situation like this where we end up here in a motel on the run.”

“Mary Jane how can you say that? This is not what I wanted, not for Aunt May and not for you.” I said angrily as I rose to my feet. Then I began to pace the ground in a frantic manner glaring at the window. “We’re only safe for moments at a time before I’m recognized and then we’d have to move on and go somewhere new and start over. I was a fool, I trusted him, and I believed his words. I believed in what he stood for in taking responsibilities for what we do in protecting our cities hometowns and families. Yet as smart as I am I allowed myself to be conned by a fast-talking man in an iron suit, I guess I’m not that smart after all. It would be easy for him to take responsibility for what damages he and James Rhoades do as Iron Man and War Machine, since it would come directly out his right pocket. But me I don’t have those kind of funds, and what did I get out of the deal a nice looking Iron-man style synthetic suit and a lot of pain from all the friends and family I hurt with my secret, I lost my job. Boy was J.J. ecstatic when he found out that his star freelance photographer was in fact the very man he hated for years. I can’t even count all the people I hurt and to reveal myself in a press conference was sooo stupid. It’s as if I said hey people I’m Peter Parker and I’m Spider-Man. Please shoot my family and friends please I’m begging anyone in New York with a vendetta against either Peter Parker or Spider-Man please take a shot at them. Which is practically every other person is it not? As if I didn’t put you and Aunt May in enough danger already as just Spider-Man or Peter Parker now everyone knows they are one and the same. So that’s two birds with one stone.”

“It’s not like you meant for this to happen tiger. Things happen that’s just life it’s just unpredictable…”

“No MJ it not unpredictable I should have seen this coming this is the natural order of things, mess up and you pay the price. I‘m the one who killed Uncle Ben, I‘ve killed Gwen Stacy, and now Aunt May. It’s all my fault each time. I didn’t stop that robber that time. I let Gwen die trying to save those kids on that bus I tried to use a zip line web but in the process thanks to Norman Osborne. And I practically asked Kingpin to have Aunt May shot. I wanted to have kids someday but not in a world where there dad can‘t be seen in public, I wanted you to be their mother. But there also two others responsible for these events that destroyed my life the Kingpin Wilson Fisk and the Director of SHIELD Iron-Man Tony Stark.” Peter said as he hit the wall his spider-sense spiked a bit. “What danger here too just great.” I thought. MJ goes to hug her husband.

“Tiger… Peter I love you. You didn’t kill anyone you just have a difficult life. And we can still have kids we can make it work we always do.” Kissing me softly.

“I love you too MJ and I will protect you the only way I know how. Oh yeah MJ there something in my bag for you. I‘m gonna hit the shower.” I said with a smile an expression she had almost forgotten. As I closed the door behind me, I turn on the shower so she hears the water from the shower running down the drain. I begin to change and I leave through the bathroom window webbing the hood of a police car to get their attention by then she should have proceeded to open the bag to find an envelope with several papers inside it. She would pull out the papers and my wedding band would fall out the envelope.

“What the hell… PETER!” she yelled as she ran to the bathroom door. She opened the door to see the shower on and I was gone, the window was open. She gets to the window to see me in costume swinging down the street with several cop cars in pursuit. I feel her eyes on me as I swing away full of confusion, pain and anger.

Obviously enraged at me she would read the note and see me in all my cowardice. The note reads. {My dear MJ I am so sorry. I don’t even have the courage to say this face to face because I don’t want to fight you on this my mind is made up and its really come to this, but I had a friend by the name of Matthew Murdock draw up these papers for me this is for your own good you don’t deserve this. This life I made for us and this is the only way to save you. Sell the ring it should fetch you a couple of hundred I got those awhile back from Uncle Ben before he died it was my dads and yours was my moms I just don’t want to end up like them dead with and orphaned child onto their only remaining family. This isn‘t the life I want for us, for you so please just listen and listen well. I need you to do one thing for me the cops have been tailing us for two days. They know we’re here so I’m going to lead them away. Now my love do me a favor if you truly love me live a good life and don’t look back and don’t get into any trouble for a while cause I wouldn’t be able to come for you the cops are in the area I’ll lead them away from you just go and live. In addition, I want you to be free MJ, I will gladly give up my happiness for you.} She turns the page and sees the one thing she never expected divorce papers. Full of ache, anger and tears I’d expect her to gather her stuff and leave the motel.

 

[Present Day]

[Back to the fight]

“If this were MJ, why would she do this to get my attention unless this symbiote is just as crazy as Carnage and Cassidy or the original Scream? Alternatively, did the way I did that truly hurt her that badly? On the other hand, is this could be a trick but this is something only MJ and I do. So until I know for sure I’ve got to play it safe at least till I find out Scream’s agenda, and if she is really MJ. And I really have to stop answering my own questions.” I thought. “Oh well… at least it can’t get any worst than this.” I sighed as I began to fight her off.

“That’s right you are tiger and don’t you ever leave me again cause if you do…” just then the wall behind them collapsed. Moreover, a huge figure stood behind them grabbing Scream who Spidey believes to be MJ (MJWP to be exact) off his back. “What the… tiger help me!” she said as she was immediately squeezed very tightly by this figure so she couldn’t let off her shockwave scream.

“Oh yeah it’s the Juggernaut, and I got this witch with me! And what you gonna do about it wall-crawler except get squashed by the Juggernaut!”

“Hey you let her go Juggernaut didn’t you see we were all nice and cozy.” I said as searchlights rained down from the sky without warning.

“This is the police Peter Parker surrender and release your captives. Or we will use force.” demanded the police over the helicopter’s loudspeaker.

“What the hell is wrong with you people? I’m not the bad guy here it’s the Juggernaut who has a captive I’m trying to help you guys out now get out of here before someone gets hurt.” I yell back.

“Like you punk…” said the Juggernaut as charged at me. “Juggernaut Punch.” his attacked connects sending me into the brick wall of the building behind me at top speed.

“Damn that really hurt. Spider-sense didn’t activate that time. I cant fight him like this. I need a plan.” I thought crawling from under the debris.

Scream tries to fight off her captive by using the symbiote as a blade to attack the Juggernaut. “Hey what the hell is this crawling up my arm? Oh, what is this damn you can turn into a toothpick well I could have used you yesterday when I that burrito stuck in my teeth. So hey sit back and relax I’ll use you later.” mocked the Juggernaut. She attacked his helmet almost taking it off. “My helmet oh no, now bitch you’d done fucked up now I’d got this shit in fourth grade.” Juggernaut plucked her on the head knocking her unconscious then rigorously readjusted his helmet.

“Crap isn’t the news and the police wasn’t bad enough, now I got to fight Juggernaut and Scream II (no pun intended). This just had to get worst why do I always have to open my mouth at the wrong time. Well I know that I have to get them out the city or innocent people will be hurt, so I guess I’ll have to use some new moves of mine after all. Hey Jugglenuts I go something for ya!” I said rejoining the fight.

“What’d you just call me, now I’m a have to beat your ass? So let’s make this quick cause I have to talk with V. McMahon about my new clothing line on Raw tonight called “The Jugs. Now get out my way before I slap your ass.”

“Sure but I need you to test this dance for me for the talent show tomorrow at the grade school for the kiddies. Ok Juggy here I come. MAXIMUM SPIDER!” The sheer force of my speed and strength propelled Juggernaut into the air and down the block to central park. (CRASH!) “Wow either Juggy’s losing weight or I’m getting stronger that didn’t even hurt.” (The move itself is the same in appearance as it is in the Marvel and Capcom games.) “Now Juggy I really like this game of ours but what are you doing out here in my part of town? Isn’t upstate with the X-men your jurisdiction?” I asked him baffled by the recent events. At that moment, Juggernaut arose with the unconscious symbiote female in his hands. As if my recent attack had no effect on him, regardless of the sheer force behind it.

Just then my spider-sense went off like crazy but I felt different as if it was muffled I couldn’t even tell if a bloody murder were happening right behind me. “The Juggernaut is here because I sent him here to get your attention Mr. Parker and that is all.” said a crass voice echoing in the park seeming get closer to me every passing second.

“Huh?” I turned around only to witness Magneto standing behind me as if he were a god. “Magneto what the hell?”

“You needn’t to understand why just yet Mr. Parker. However I have a proposal for you follow me Mr. Parker so please come with me.” Magneto climbs to a jet hovering overhead Juggernaut followed. Against all my better judgment I jump in to the jet as it flew off into the distance.

“Hey um Magneto do the X-men know you have a bootleg version of the Blackbird? And what did you do with Scream? And what happened to the police?” I asked cautiously.

“No worries Spider-Man what happened just now was an illusion made by my daughter Wanda.” Magneto states with a coy smirk as Scarlett Witch enter the room.

“Nice to meet you Spider-Man you performed exceptionally well today.” she said smiling as she sat down next to her father.”

“Well that a surprise that someone like you would have a daughter this pretty, that’s some kind of irony. Besides what would make you think I’d believe that this was an illusion? Plus from what I heard you have the powers of hex and probability so how could I be caught in an illusion.”

“Let me assure you Spider-Man irony means nothing to me for irony, metal and all time and space bend to my will, do not confuse my hospitality as weakness if need be I will crush you in a instant. For evolution will give me strength when I am at my maximum the world will quiver in fear. Yet that is all it was Mr. Parker an illusion for that just happened to be a minor power of hers. Besides Mr. Parker I may be many things but a liar I am not.” Magneto reiterates as Wanda chuckles under her breath.

(Spider-sense) I jump up on the ceiling immediately as Scream sat in the chair that I just jumped out of. I immediately webbed her to the chair. “What the hell Magneto you just let her walk free on your ship!” I yelled as she changed her face to that of MJ.

“What’s a matter tiger scared…? Hahaha! Don’t worry I’ll take good care of you Hahaha…”

“Mystique that is quite enough, the mission is over you are upsetting our guest.” ordered Magneto. Just then, she changed back to her normal form. “Spider-Man I told you it was all an illusion set up by us, that symbiote that you fought in the street was Mystique.”

“That makes no sense how was she able you use Screams’ powers? And why are you not setting off my Spider-sense?”

“That’s what I was here for…” I felt a gust of wind past me and rest in the chair below him. “I am Quicksilver brother of Wanda, son of Magneto. And that was merely me using my speed to create vibrations when Mystique screamed. Which made it seam like she had the symbiote powers, plus Mystique can copy melee techniques albeit it wont be as strong as the real thing it will definitely look real. And the sixth sense thing was Wanda she increased the probability of you doing certain things, relayed that info to me and I told Mystique that’s why it looked like she could sense what you were going to do. And of course, you know the big man Juggernaut. He’s in the back. Pay him a visit sometime. And the thing with your spider-sense maybe that’s a personal problem.”

“Damn it all Quicksilver might be right about that my powers have been a little funny recently.” Spidey thought, “Ok Magneto, what’s this all about why am I here and what’s with the crazy introductions? And from what I‘d heard Quicksilver was in jail by Shield, so how is he here?” I asked seriously. And I thought you’ve lost your powers Magneto.”

“Patience Mr. Parker I will explain all when we land. That I promise you.

However there is no need to worry about Pietro he was in jail but released unto the care of a mutual acquaintance of ours.” replied Magneto. Just them Mystique freed herself from the web and walked up to me as I came off the ceiling.

“If that’s okay with you tiger?” Mystique says to Spider-Man in his ear in MJ’s’ voice and face.

In retaliation I instantly grabbed her by the throat with one hand and choked her slightly to assure her he is serious. My spider-sense spiked a bit realizing I‘m not in a favorable position I speak fiercely but clearly as not to set off a ruckus. “Do that again and I’ll rip your throat out and show it to you got that. Oh and for the record we have no mutual acquaintances Magneto.” He let her go and walked into the cargo bay. The Juggernaut stands there by the window as I walk to the corner to figure out just what the hell I’m doing here the Juggernaut approaches me.

“Hey web head don’t think for a minute that you’ve won I was holding back but don’t you worry I will beat your ass sooner or later. Hahaha just you wait and see punk. I’m gonna stomp a mud-hole in your ass Roach-Man. Yeah that’s right I said Roach-Man cause that what you look like to the Juggernaut bitch. Just know I’m ready any time anywhere you are chump.” Said the juggernaut in an overbearing cocky way. Spider-Man clenched his fist and merely looks at the Juggernaut that towers over him as if he is a fool, until he becomes lost in thought again.

{Meanwhile}

“Oooh he’s frisky.” said Mystique rubbing her throat.

“Control yourself Mystique I will not tell you again. For the time being he will prove to be an asset to us.” said a calm Magneto as if almost to warn her she‘s treading in dangerous waters. “Yes Magneto sir.” Mystique responded.

As they come near Magneto’s, island the Juggernaut towers over him once more. “Don’t think that we’re buddies now cause we need you. Once this is over bug cause I’m gonna squash your ass. Ya know that’s what I do cause I’m the Juggernaut.”

“Yeah whatever. Ya told me that like 10 minutes ago shouldn‘t you be hooked on phonics or something Goliath. Cause my sling shot is always ready.” I replied looking out the window.

They reach an island cloaked in the dead of night. “Welcome all to my haven away from man. My Outer Heaven if you will that I call “Olympia Prime. It is completely cloaked to all. So only those who know where it is can find it.” Make yourselves at home for we have much work to do. Mr. Parker if you please follow me.” stated Magneto. They entered the Gladiatorial style main building in the center of the island they pass a life size arena when they entered. Then they pass a warriors den into the sleeping chambers. Where there are several hallways connected by an oval waiting room that lead to several bedrooms. “This is the first floor resting area where you will stay for the remainder of your visit, however I am not a cruel man even if you don’t accept my proposal you may still use the chambers I’d laid out for you. If that’s alright with you Mr. Parker, but for now join me we have a personal matter to discuss.” Magneto leads him to a magnificent throne room that merely entering made his hair stand on end. For the very feel of magnetic current surrounds, the room Spidey witnesses many pieces such as abstract art, and a very alluring grand father clock floating in mid air with a pendulum high above the throne offset to the left side of the room. As the doors closed, Magneto began to speak. “At ease Mr. Parker first off I must say you are wise for not accepting Mephisto’s deal…”

“How do you know about that? I didn’t tell anyone. And what’s up with this room?”

“I am very well informed besides I know more than that. First off let me just say Mr. Parker stay away from my daughter Wanda, she had a mental breakdown and she just recently recovered. An unstable self-destructing element like you will destroy her. Besides ever since M-day her powers just haven’t been the same…”

“…What do you mean an unstable self destructing element like me? I re sent that.” I said cutting off Magneto mid sentence. “I’m not after your daughter and I am not a…”

“Are you not the reason your Aunt died as well as your Ex-girlfriend and Uncle. Magneto shot back.

“Don’t ever bring up my family again Magneto. Just get to the damn point of this.” I responded angrily ready to strike Magneto where he sat.

“Need I remind you where you are Mr. Parker I guarantee you won’t leave alive. The room is this way for when I built Olympia Prime my magnetic essence warped this room beyond comprehension and instead of fixing it; I kept it for my own. However, the point is… what exactly do you know about the Skrull and the Skrull invasion? For you may already be a victim to their plan. Just let me explain the situation. First off the Civil War is nothing but a farce created by the Skrull to infiltrate our world and destroy us from within. Moreover, as it stands we owe a great deal to NOVA for he has protected our planet against the invaders. He too had a falling out with the man of iron as you and many others did. As you may well know or not and it pains me to say this Professor Xavier was killed by the X-man Bishop. In addition, there is a red Hulk roaming the countryside killing whatever he deems worthy of his time without fail. This Hulk has killed Wendigo and Abomination he‘s even abandoned The Mighty Thor himself on the moon”

“Wait Bishop killed Xavier. When, why, how?” I asked totally caught off guard by these events. “That doesn’t make any sense. Moreover, why would the Skrull want to destroy us? And is Dr. Banner this killer Red Hulk you mentioned and Thor’s on the moon what the hell‘s been going on around here?”

“This is a plot to eliminate the future of mutant kind. I will refuse to let this world be given to these filthy hateful humans and Skrull who despise and fear that which that what they do not understand. In response to your second question. It appears that ever since the alliance (Marvel Alliance) the Skrull have been planning this and Super Skrull has an army the size of China full of multiple Skrull’s with our powers so the only thing we can do is retaliate against them by combining together our power’s and taking our right to live. We Mutant’s must prevail over all Mr. Parker. And to your third question no it is not Dr. Banner who is this Red Hulk.” replied Magneto

“There you guys go with this mutant stuff again I’ll tell you like I told Xavier I’m not a mutant. I never was and never will be. I am not one of you.” I stated as I began to walk to the door. “I hate being labeled as such. I’m Spider-Man that’s all there is to it.”

“But aren’t you one of us Mr. Parker? Did you or did you not mutate into a Man-Spider, and did you or did you not mutate so that you no longer need to use those accursed web shooters of yours. Isn’t your blood radioactive, can you now on a certain level communicate with spiders? As well as use a certain sixth sense or spider sense as you call it witch can be confused for borderline psychic abilities? Moreover, what of those poisonous stingers in your arms Spider-Man? In addition, to the unbalanced proportional strength you possess. Above all else to hide with a secret identity. Mr. Parker the list just goes on and on respectively. You are nothing if not one of us.” Magneto said bringing me to a halt.

“You sure got a lot of info on me Magneto, why is that? What do you gain for being so well informed on me, and my powers? But even more intriguing to me is where all your info came from?”

“Even if your mutation is the fault of man once you mutate you are a mutant be it man made or natural it isn’t something to despise. But something to revel in and in the near future something our children and we can be proud about for if it had been up to me I would have taken this Earth years ago. And besides I feel better with more mutants on my side anyway, however there are some tolerable humans. At least some more than others anyway. This is why for once I will willingly work beside humanity. Plus Spider-Man we’re gonna need all the help we can get with this plan aren’t we Colonel…” Magneto trailed off looking to his left.

“That we are Magneto. But I don’t agree with all that mutant stuff though the objective is the same for us humans too the elimination of the Skrull advance forces. Not just mutants and humans but the world itself is at stake. So Spider-Man are you with us or not?” a figure said emerging from the shadows. A figure that was all too familiar to Spider-Man. This invoked joy, sorrow, fear and distaste all at once.

“C… C…CO…COLONEL FURY!” yelled an alarmed Spider-Man. “Yes the one and only Fury Spider-Man. The one and only.” said Colonel Fury. “Cause from this point on Spider-Man the shit will hit the fan so we have to be ready.”  

“Why… why are you here of all places, here with the brotherhood Colonel Fury? That‘s not something that I believed that Fury would do.” I asked a confused. As I slowly walked away from the door. I then walked toward the center of the room perplexed by these events then almost without warning I attack tired of all these fakes and illusions being constantly thrown my way. I immediately webbed Fury’s arm to the wall, but Fury frees his arm with a shield standard pocketknife, could this be the real fury I wondered as he charged at me. Fury swings, and comes with a roundhouse kick. But Fury’s CQC is under-minded by my Spider-sense. Fury continues the fight dodging only because I let him at the time there is no need to embarrass this fake retaliating with a shock tazer blade concealed in his glove, a tactic the Fury I know would never use. Which I easily saw and adapted to by flipping Fury on his back. Punching him lightly in the gut as he hit the floor to stun him. I then continue to ensnare this Fury in a web cocoon then turns toward Magneto. “You guys really didn’t think I’d fall for this again did you Magneto. Once you explained it I made sure that I’d be prepared for something like this.” I explained “You won’t get me with the same trick twice. Did you really think I’d fall for a fake Fury?”

“That’s why it had to be real this time Spider-Man. With the real Fury of course.” said Mystique as she enters from behind me though the door.

(Spider-sense) “What the hell kind of trick is this? Magneto what the hell are you doing I thought you needed my help?” I asked totally confused. “Is this what you do to your supposed contributors.”

“Why whatever gave you that idea Spider-Man? All I said is that I had something to discuss with you. It was Fury who wanted your assistance not I, but Fury has persuaded me to enlist your abilities for you may very well be one of the keys to our combined objective.” said Magneto.

“Hawkeye, Mystique, Natasha now!” at this moment Black Widow, Mystique and Hawkeye swarm Spider-Man triangulate him. He dodges the first few but eventually they corner him and pump him full of bullets as Magneto merely watches in total silence. However, Spider-Man still manages to break away he runs down to the end of the corridor. “Get Spider-Man now don’t let him escape! He is one of the keys to the future. He must be apprehended.” yelled Fury “Lotus, its Fury do you copy? He’s heading your way and fast.” Fury said on his mic. I have never moved so quickly than am right now or so it felt. On the run and beginning to feel drowsy I open the door to the arena and on the other side of the door I found something I would not have expected. A horde of mutants and powerful beings some who had I been in other circumstances would call friends now blocking my way. And with one great leap as if all of my strength was behind it, I jumps across the entire arena to the exit. This somewhat put my heart in pain for a new chapter of life has begun. A lifetime of running from all humans and mutants. Now I truly feel all alone. As the door opened, I was unwillingly caught off guard by the most unexpected turn of events that weighted heavily on my heart and played tricks on my mind. One woman stands in my way with a gun. A woman who looks like the one that I thought I left behind. A woman scorned but with a gift nonetheless. The gift of a metal, bullet in the heart. At this moment my vision goes black as my body grows heavy.

Impossible… I thought as I hit the floor with a heavy thud.

“Colonel, Lotus reporting in. Mission complete sir…” said the woman. “He’s ready to be transported”. She looks down at the Spider-Man at her feet in sadness and disgust “Sleep well Spider-Man you‘ll need it for what we have in store for you next”.

“Good work Lotus a team will be there in a sec. Return to base Fury out”. said Fury into his mic. “Well Magneto enjoying the show”.

“Very much, now Colonel, so tell me what is the next step for us now that all the players are here and ready for the most part.”

“It’s all very simple Magneto, we prepare for a world war. A secret world war against the Skrull and their supporters.” replied Fury. “As you’ve always wanted we’re taking the fight to them.”
