((Peter is still searching for his enemies in anger and carelessness of his own.. Not taking the symbiont effect in the formula slowly breaking down his life.))
After a burdensome night that caught up to the day, cap. Stacy entered his house at night, only to be met with a worrisome voice that bounced up, soon he came in, as he was being stalked to enter the house "Dad what happened? You look exhausted"
"Gwen dear," he took off his jacket and rested tiresomely on the sofa, "do you know what is going on with Parker?"
Startled by the question, Gwen turned her eyes sideways, hesitantly said "Pete... Why?"
The old man reluctantly said "Nothing" but his daughter knows all his tells, she raised her tone in concern "Did something happen to Pete?"
"Some super villains attacked the mall and there were some casualties"
"IS PETER OKAY?" her voice rose high and her hands clenched on her father. The man calmly took his little girl's hands comforting "No, Parker is fine. It's his aunt, she had a heart attack.... She was hospitalized since the beginning of night"
"Oh God. Where is Peter?" her hands covered her mouth after a gasp.
"... Is he facing some problems in school or work? Did he tell you about anything?!" Stacy asked her answer came awkwardly short ".... Not that I heard about"
Gwen looked down and turned her eyes away, trailing her feet quickly to her room, burring her guilt in the pillow. She felt disgusted about her lies, betraying her childhood friend, all she could do, was to keep her tears from falling, but she had no power over heart breaking.
Distraught in agonized thoughts she spent the night pushing back her cries.
Next morning, at the school yard during PE class,
"Peter, Are you Okay?" a familiar voice approached the lone boy sitting at the front row of the football field sinking in hazy thoughts with black circles bagged under his eyes proving his insomnia.
Peter looked up to the red head repeating the question, he then focused as the one coming after her, Liz approached in concerned about his tiresomely red eyes "Peter, your eyes..." she tried to reach for his hand but his sunken eyes felt distance away.
MJ called again take care of yourself Tiger, May would nag so much when she wake up... We're your friends. You can ask for..."
'"Huff" Peter sighed brokenly with a smile "Yeah, for Help?"
They looked surprised from his tone,
'Ah, Please... Can you give me money to pay the hospital fees? Can you take some photos of me & send it to JJJ? Can you take down Rhino & the other super-villains? Can you resurrect Norman Osborn, so I maintain my friendship with Harry? Can you.... Can you?'
Pater's head was full of these untold thoughts however, he just stood up and chuckled weirdly to himself then walked away to the building, but then from the end of the corridor, he saw the beautiful blond girl staring at him with her big dazzling turquoise eyes. She raised her hand to reach him hesitating to call his name... but a cold shiver spread through his body and chained his arms back, scared of meeting her, afraid from that facial confronting so he quickly escaped into the school building but unfortunately he heard a someone calling his name "Hey, Parker"
Flash & his gang walked to him. Peter sighed "Not now Flash"
"Hey man, Look__" and before he could continue, He was already pinned to the closets powerless under the boy's mercy "I said. Not now Flash"
Startled by his reaction, the bigger guy rose his hands with a serious face "Hey, Hey. I was just gonna ask If you are okay, man?"
Peter let go of him, and shamefully staggered away "Just.. Leave me alone"
Brown- The new footballer that recently joined Flash Thompson's gang but on contrast the young black boy with his dread hair was the only kind-hearted person that didn't usually pick on Peter or participating into the bullying- helped his senior up (Flash) & the gang ran out along with the students
People gazed intensely at that sudden event, surprised by the eruptive strength of the bullied, in face of the school bullies and before they began their chatters, and explosion occurred.
-BANG- Students began running from the rear, while teachers began shouting and others simply left everyone and raced outside the building... The school alarm rang finally drove them to face their surreal reality.
Among the mayhem and people running and others falling, Peter looked from far to see Electro was racking the place down.
"Aarrrgghhh, Where is Spiderman?" sparks charged everywhere and students instantly evacuated the building, except for those who chose to hide in different places.
'Why is Electro here? Beside... is he looking for me, how? Did he know, did they also come...? No they don't know me. Why...!' a wave of disturbing thoughts plumped the boy restless, unable to fully take on what's before his eyes. In face of the danger upcoming to him, he was cornered at a forked path 'They are after me! ... Or should I run?' he hid behind the closets watching the monster at distance storming the building. But a strange voice called from within "Wake up Peter"
"Huh! Symbiont. I forgot about you"
Peter ran into the restrooms then instantly turned into his alter ego 'I have to take care of this fast' a single mission demanded his unyielding focus.
He appeared from behind Electro webbing his whole body to contain the mad man to the wall then bounced on him "Sparkle head, Why are you here... No never mind, either way thank you, I really wanted someone to hit" naturally provoking them.
Electro raised the bar of his voltage "my name is ELECTRO" he melted the webs by his immense discharge. The web swinger fell back electrocuted. He jumped up in a second but to lay low again as his spider sense tingled loudly, a metal tentacle broke through the floor above him collapsing the slab on him, but he dodged it but only to fall into the main villain's trap... as another mental tentacle grabbed his waist and slammed him hard in the floor.
Peter painfully grunted "D. Octopus..."
"Class time is over, now is the time for the finals" he shot him out of the building, the wall crawler rolled on the ground outside hurt and exhausted, the students were far enough but they could see the confrontation before them.
Spiderman, get up"
Spiderman... Leave him alone"
many cheers were calling while others were simply looking at him thinking 'Is he back to black?'
The web swinger slowly stood up to hear another ruffling sound through the air, he looked up to see Vulture pressing some buttons on arm, his wind opened more and 3 missiles flew at the boy
"Damn it, too many again. I can't fight in here" Through the dust and dirt... Peter, rushed out on foot and escaped but his enemies were great in numbers, Electro shot sparks at the dust randomly, Peter flew up grabbing his attention from mistakenly hitting the others, he kept shooting, but the web swinger swung away and disappeared from the fight.
Vulture tried to follow him but a commanding voice called him in his earpiece "Let him escape. We must have our time hunting Spiderman..." a devilish grin shaped onto Octopus' face as he vanished too with his gang upon hearing the sirens.
After many eluding, Peter reached his safe have, he entered his house. He threw his bag on the floor and dived his body on the couch in the living. Hardly taking his breaths, he shut his eyes regrouping his thoughts in the last couple of days 'First Rhino and shocker, then now Electro and Vulture, Octopus is reviving the sinister five again' and as his thoughts took a hold of his mind, his mind failed to run his conscious awake.
He fell asleep.
His spider sense tingled him out of his sleep, the boy sat on the couch alarmed, but then he looked down on the floor and mumbled 'When did I go to the beach? Am I dreaming?"
'JUMP' the symbiont called automatically, Peter hopped to the wall to see the scattered heaps of sand on the floor gathering into a sword that suddenly struck couch, he was on, in half.
"It's your end, wall crawler" The sand formed again and a man prevailed standing with both his fists shaped in a big hammer.
"Flint Marco?" seeing the man who killed his uncle, standing in his house. Peter seethed with anger. Nothing mattered than destroying that man, not even hiding his identity. Peter jumped on him and in an instant the symbiont spread out in the sandman's way and then it slowly gathered around the fist that slammed his face and took down his jaw in sand. Spiderman again in his suit landed on the floor covered in sand. His adversary turned his head calmly watching the spider squatting before him "Hahaha, now you are trapped, and here I take my revenge"
The web slinger couldn't jump off those sands that shackled his movements and tied him to the floor. He quickly shot his web shoots towards the kitchen, exploding the tubes supplying water to the house...
"Noooo.." Sandman shouted as he melted in mud losing his strong grip and scattering away. Spiderman broke free thanks to the water flowing into his muddy home. He ran out safely just to be blown away from a powerful shock wave.
He kept rolling on the asphalt outside in the middle of the street. With blurry vision and hazy mind, the lone hero looked up to see an unpleasant sight prevailing before him, Shocker on his left, while Vulture is roaming around from above. Electro and Kraven standing on top of his house, while Rhino just barged out violently destroying half of the house, then the mastermind, D. Octopus standing arrogantly with a devilish smirk and preying eyes walking eerily by those metal tentacles of his, clanging on the ground, striking doom with every step toward Spiderman.
All of his nemesis are ganging on him. With no way to run, Spiderman gathered the last bit of strength left in his body to barely stand.
... Out of blue, a random double truck was passing the other road, so he webbed himself to it and escaped, stuck to it...
Vulture flew after it, while Electro and Rhino shouted in fury. But shocker called the boss who seemed busy by other stuff "What are you looking for D. Octopus?"
"Clues..." the man hissed quietly as his tentacles rummaged through the ruins of the house till he found what he wanted in Kraven's hands held a small portrait of Peter & his aunt. Octopus reached it by one of his tentacles smirking.
"What now?" the ultimate hunter called.
He crashed the photo laughing madly "Kukuku... the rest is yours"
"Prepare the bait & wait for the Prey..." Kraven grinned.
The police came, pulling their yellow tape around the destroyed house, officers running through the ruins for evidences. Sergeant Carter approached cap. Stacy aside from others and handed him a letter "I think you should see this before someone else"
"Come to 31 V Port by midnight, if you want GRAMDMA alive"
Silently cap. Stacy quickly hid the letter and moved away.
