And here we are with Part 8 of the 'Heroes' series.

Now before we start, I'd like to say something first. I know many of you are awaiting the sequel to 'A Beautiful Journey' as well as 'The Devil and The Archer' series and also the last story of 'Thunder and Steel' series and I'm not planning on dropping any of them at all, and I will do those stories.

However, this 'Heroes' series is easily my biggest series yet, and I have big plans on how to continue it, as well as end it later with my own version of COIE.

And due to the lockdown, I am managing to write story after story in this series with zero problem or time constraints, and because I can't wait to write more of my big plans for this series, I'm using the lockdown simply to update more of it.

And because of it, the sequels to those other series are on the side-track for now, but worry not, I have not abandoned any of those series at all, and I will return to them too once the lockdown is done with.

But until then, I want to just focus on this series and move forward with it, as I won't be getting this opportunity again.

So I hope now we are all clear regarding the other series. Again, not abandoning them at all, just putting them on the side-track for this series, and I will continue them all once the lockdown is over at the end of this month.

So with that out of the way, let us begin.

This story is also going to be very similar to Bl4ckHunter's 'Venomous Inheritance' so thank you to him for letting me use elements of his story on here, and I will also add my own plot regarding Gwen Stacy here.

Also, considering Katherine McNamara is MCU Gwen Stacy in this, imagine Stephen Amell and Caity Lotz as George Stacy and Helen Stacy, and it's kind of a fun casting IMO.

Hope all enjoy.

Chapter 1- Disappearance

Metro-General Hospital

Gwen Stacy lay on the bed in a coma as her mother Helen sat next to her, holding her hand, wishing she'd wake up. She had fainted about a week ago after returning from OsCorp and hadn't woken up since.

That was when she heard a knock on the door and turned to see Peter, Ned and Michelle there, flowers in all of their hands.

"Hi, Mrs. Stacy", Peter said as he held out his hand. "I'm Peter-"

"Parker", Hele finished, wiping her eyes. "Gwen's told me about you. You're competition."

Peter gave a slight smile at that, not having the heart to really chuckle right now due to Gwen's condition.

"We came here to visit her, Mrs. Stacy", Ned said politely as he held up his flowers.

"I think she got that", Michelle whispered to him.

"Thank you", Helen said to them as she pointed at the table near Gwen. "You can keep them there."

The three walked to the table and kept their flowers there as Peter said to unconscious Gwen. "Get well soon, Gwen."

He then gave Helen a nod and walked out, Ned and Michelle following him as Helen burst into tears once more.

The three walked out of the hospital as Michelle asked. "What do you think sent her into a coma?"

"Michelle-" Peter started.

"Oh come on! Just a question", Michelle shrugged. "I mean, there has to be something."

"She does have a point, Pete", Ned said. "I mean, we met her that day. She was perfect, and then all of a sudden she falls into a coma? How is that possible?"

"It's OsCorp, what do you expect?" Peter muttered.

"This about that video your dad left?" Michelle asked.

Sometime ago, when Peter needed to run off as Spider-Man in the presence of Ned and Michelle, Ned had tried to make excuses for Peter, only for Michelle to reveal she knew he was Spider-Man, and had figured it all out.

So she was another person in on Peter's secret now.

"I don't know", Peter shook his head. "Though it is strange that this happens to Gwen right after I see my dad's video."

"Have you started investigating yet?" Ned asked.

"Nope", Peter shook his head. "Not yet. Though I should now, as clearly, there is something strange going on there."

"If only those other Spider-Men, including your uncle's and dad's doppelgangers were here to help out", Ned said as Peter looked at him.

"They taught me to be self-sufficient, so I'm gonna try to do things myself", Peter said.

"And what if it's bigger than just you, your dad and Gwen?" Michelle asked.

"Well, I have friends in important places", Peter quipped as his two friends chuckled at that.

Later, OsCorp

Peter was looking around at the people and labs when he saw someone familiar.

"Mr. Osborn", he called out as he walked to him and the man turned to him. "Hi."

"Who are you, young man? Though I have to admit, you look familiar", Norman said.

"I am Peter Parker, sir", Peter said, offering his hand to him.

"Ah, Harry's friend, I remember now", Norman nodded, shaking his hand.

"I heard he was sick, is he alright?" Peter asked.

"He's in good health for now, I appreciate your concern. With you working here, we might find a cure. I might consider employing you, Peter. I knew your father, he used to work for us, he was a good man", Norman said.

Suddenly, an alarm beeped in the facility.

"Oh, no", someone said as all started running around.

"What is it?" Peter asked.

"I'm afraid there's been a breach in the labs. Peter, I'm afraid we must cancel your visit. You need to leave here, now", Norman said. "I will have a guard accompany you-"

"No, I appreciate the offer but there is no need, I can make myself scarce", Peter said as he ran off. He ran down the corridors until he was sure there were no cameras or guards or any witnesses around as he jumped into the ducts.

Spider-Man jumped down from the ducts as he saw scientists attacked by people, who looked like the zombies from the old 'Dawn of the Dead' movie, though they were much faster, like the ones from the remake or 'World War Z'. Their eyes were black, black veins all over their skin and they were attacking people around savagely.

"Hey, uglies!" Spider-Man webbed two poles and launched himself into the fray like a slingshot, knocking down some of the infected people.

"What the heck is this?"

His spider-sense turned on as one of the people snarled and lunged at him. Spider-Man kicked him in the face, knocking him down.

Spider-Man then webbed up a gas tank and twirled it around, hitting some of the infected people before throwing it at more of the infected people as it exploded in dense gas, blinding them.

Spider-Man used the opportunity to take them down as they were webbed to the walls and the floor.

"What the hell is going on here?" Spider-Man asked.

Unknown to him, a tall man with short blonde hair in a jacket was in a corner, taking pictures. He had been following a lead from one of the scientists who tipped him off about something going on in here. He wasn't sure what was going on but one thing was for certain. Eddie Brock's lead on something fishy going on in OsCorp just took an interesting turn.

"Hey!" One of the guards shouted as they entered, aiming guns at Spider-Man. "Don't move!"

Spider-Man sighed. Typical, blaming him for something going on anywhere really.

Then he pointed into the air. "Look! It's vampires!"

"What?" The soldiers whirled around, puzzled and Spider-Man and Eddie used the opportunity to run.

What neither one of them noticed, was that onto them was glued some small, black, slimy-like ooze.

Next day, Metro-General Hospital

Peter was coming to visit Gwen again when he heard yelling. "WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU SAYING?"

Peter was confused as he walked into the reception area to see Helen yelling at the receptionist.

"MY DAUGHTER WAS ADMITTED HERE!" Helen was yelling. "I WAS BY HER BEDSIDE TILL YESTERDAY!"

"No ma'am", the receptionist said with a straight face. "There are no records of her."

"If this is your idea of a joke, it is in very poor taste!" Helen sneered, pointing her finger at the receptionist. "Tell me where she is!"

"She is not here", the receptionist said.

"My husband is a police captain, and I will bring him here to arrest all of you!" Helen warned, but got no response. "Fine!"

She walked off, her eyes hardening, deciding to do something about this.

Peter watched between the retreating Helen and the receptionist, eyes wide in horror and shock.

Walking to the receptionist, he said. "Uh, ma'am, the girl that woman was talking about, she was admitted here. I visited her yesterday with my friends-"

"No she wasn't, you must be mistaken", the receptionist said in such a tone Peter wanted to hit something.

Glaring at her, he walked out, wondering what the hell was going on?

And this is done.

Once again, thank you to Bl4ckHunter for letting me use elements of his story for this.

And now MCU Eddie Brock is here, and imagine Alexander Ludwig in the role, suggested by Chaos Sorcerer, so thank you to him.

What the hell happened to Gwen in the end though? Anyone has any idea? *Winks*

Though I have to say, I'm not proud of the title, as it is like Bl4ckHunter's with just one word changed, so if anyone has an alternative title for this, feel free to share in the comments.

Hope all enjoyed and see you all next time with another chapter. Stay safe from the coronavirus ya all!
