answers to reviewers questions or statements:

Epickend: Yes, he'll be appearing, several times in fact, along with Red Goblin.

kival737101: No, it can fit with her character, while she is a anti-hero, she's not afraid to get her hands dirty and resort to more lethal methods if it really comes down to it. It's rare but it's happened hell at one point she was making moves to be the new Kingpin of New York.

Omni-Creator Kami of Anime: Kara will grow into Power Girl as the story goes, in just about every sense of the word. I'm not including any X-women, it's why there's not going to be any in the harem. No, Billy is keeping the moniker of Captain Marvel and if Carol appears and does gain her powers, she'll be going by either Warbird or Binary to avoid any confusion.

CRUDEN: She has her reasons, rather justifiable ones.

Harbinger of Kaos: Otto, Osborn and Carnage will appear later on in the story. Well it's Like Kara said, she didn't know too much about Clones on Krypton and she did say at best they were second class citizens, at worst, expendable cannon fodder. The symbiotes were at their most dangerous under Knull's influence, without him they aren't as organized if at all. Felicia here is... complicated.

DeimosVulcan12: Peter has his standard powers but his physical abilities are augmented by Venom being bonded to him. His physical strength, with Venom, is between 45 and 50 tons and when Venom has full control, 70 to 100 tons though it can fluctuate as Peter in the past has performed feats that should theoretically be beyond him, same as Venom when he was bonded to Eddie Brock. Yes Red Hood will make a few appearances, the events of Death in the Family have already happened. Superman is with Lois in this story. The current women in the harem are Helena, Kara, Zatanna, Felicia, Anya, Cindy, Jade and Rose for the events of season one up to the events of Invasion with Dinah, Bobbi, Diana and one other surprise character for Invasion and Outsiders.

Silver Crow: It's less of the getting along and more of they have a common goal and are willing to work with one another to reach it. The Symbiotes aren't very well liked by just about every other race in the universe, so when the Green Lanterns find out about Venom, things will be... tense. Artemis and Starfire won't be in the harem, neither will Catwoman since she's with Batman in this.

QuantumShatter: Her outfit will look like the suit she wore in the Smallville season 11 comics.

Chaos Sorcerer: May looks like her PS4 version, just a little younger. I wouldn't say forced, it's more of he has nothing else he can do and the League just want to keep him close by, like Superboy. There's a few anti-heroes running around, Red Hood being one of them. Yes Felicia is part of the League though she's sent on missions that are more of infiltration and acquiring valuable items than outright assassination like Cheshire is. Peter is on Waller's Radar but he's not important enough at the moment to be of much use to her, plus the League is watching him so she won't be able to make any move to get him any how. The League, mostly Batman will slowly start to uncover just what happened to Peter when he was in Cadmus's care, and the things he did like the termination of the previous Superboy clones. The Symbiotes were once one of the most powerful races, especially under Knull's rule, but they didn't decimate the Martians, they just killed a few thousand Martians and even then it was one that did it. He'll meet Kara in the next few chapters, and Zatanna a few afterwards. Peter here is sixteen, he'll be seventeen in October since his mainstream counterpart was born between September 22 and October 22 or something around there based off his Zodiac sigh thingy.

Marvel Fan: Yeah, DC's way of handling the whole what's 'too far' and all that moral high ground can get ridiculous. I mean I understand being better than the bad guys, but man there comes a point where you gotta make the hard decision. Captain America of all people will make the call if it needs to be made. It's why I like Marvel so much, it's heroes have a more realistic outlook on good and evil, there's good, there's bad, there's evil and then there's a bit of everything in between. For the time being, Peter's powers consist of his Spider abilities and the enhancements Venom offers along with the whole manipulation of symbiote biomass like making weapons, tendrils, camouflage and the like.

chimera629: ARGUS's people, barring the likes of Waller and most incarnations of the Suicide Squad don't kill for the hell of it or because it's convenient, they kill because as a government agency, they are forced into situations with hostile individuals or Metas where Lethal Force is needed and how would Peter know how a government organization like ARGUS even operates when he's been locked in a lab for the better part of a decade? Who says they didn't investigate Superboy? This story is about Peter and will focus on him, not Superboy. Like Kara mentioned, she's CONFINED to Smallville, and the team is supposed to be a covert group, why would Kara know about it when she's not even a member of the Justice League?

GJAM: Yes.

Zayden StormVoid: The likes of Carnage will be a nightmare when he/she shows up. What Peter's suit will look like when he's operating out in the public will be shown this chapter and his 'Black Suit' will be his 'stealth suit'. Peter will have a few gadgets he'll use, more in tandem with Venom then if he's hurt or weakened. Actually Zatanna here won't be joining the team, never really why they had her in the show, she didn't bring that much as much as it pains me to say it. With Red Tornado, yeah she was helpful, but a lot of other events she never stood out as the one to change the course of a mission gone wrong. Besides, her and Peter will have their own adventures that deal with things that go bump in New York's dark underworld at night. Who says it'll be Talia that'll try to manipulate him into joining the Shadows? Nightwing's Teen Titans team consisted of himself, Starfire, Temptest, Speedy when he was younger, Ravager before she left and joined her father, Zachery Zatara and Hawk and Dove.

Arrow1021: I'll be altering a number of events the Team will go through on certain missions and adding in new ones.

Guest: Venom's weakness while do seem to be a bit ridiculous, especially with how easy it is to get fire or create a sound loud enough to effect him is, the Venom symbiote has proven in the past to still be pretty resilient to their effects, at least enough for it to do what it needs to do. Add in Peter's stubbornness, you can drop a inferno on them in the middle of a dubstep concert and they'd pull through. Not sure why, but Supergirl with a pet pig seems to fit with her for some reason. Plus later I can do a little 'Spider-pig' thing like in the Simpsons movie.

July 16, New York City, Long Island City, Queens 04:45 PM...

The following days after Venom's reveal to Peter's aunt were... interesting, to say the least.

For the first day, May didn't know whether she was talking to Venom or Peter and with obvious shame and embarrassment, asked which one she was talking to. And the few times the Symbiote manifested a head to speak with the kind old woman, she'd find a way to end the conversation as quickly as possible, particularly once Venom starts to compare May's cookies to some of the finer minds that he's literally devoured since arriving on Earth almost thirty years prior.

'I don't understand why she seemed so unnerved by it' Venom growled in confusion 'She should have taken it as a compliment!'

'Yeah, tell the sweet old lady that her cookies taste like the insides of a person's skull. Truly, there is no better sweet talker than you venom' Peter said with an eye roll as he wandered down a side walk in Long Island City, his destination, Madam Webb's tea shop.

Venom grunted as Peter spotted Madam Webb's shop up ahead and quickened his pace 'Though her casserole is much to be desired. I've never had anything so foul since this one time I had a host on Thanagar eat a Krolotean-'

'Don't care, now shush while I speak with the weird old spider lady' Peter said as he arrived at the front of the shop and saw it was closed for the day.

Frowning, Peter looked around real quick to see if anyone was watching and slowly raised his hand to the door's knob, intending to push it open with just a smidge of his enhanced strength and the door suddenly flew open to show Madam Webb, dressed in a red and black shirt and pants with a pair of red rimmed glasses on her face, displaying her dark gray eyes. The seer of the Web of Fate looked him with a dry expression on her winkled face. Peter blinked at the old seer while Madam Webb gazed at his hand and then the door in her hands and sighed.

"Were you really just about to break my lock?" she asked in a knowing tone of resignation.

"Ummm, break is a strong word" Peter said with a sheepish grin "I like to think of it as more of me pushing the door open harder than most would, hehehehe…"

Madam Webb hummed at this before she stepped aside and gestured for Peter to come in "Next time, just knock"

"Okay" Peter said as he slid past Madam Webb before she closed and locked the door while he looked around the tea shop to see if possessed three small aisles filled with various tea blends and tea accessories.

"What brings you here Peter?" Madam Webb asked as her body was briefly covered in a white light before fading to show her Madam Webb attire and black glasses on her face.

"I was hoping we could talk is all" Peter said as he watched the woman make her way to a small table "Is now a bad time?"

"Not really no" Madam Webb shook her head "I saw you coming already"

"Is that how you knew I was about to unlock your door?" Peter asked with surprise.

"No" Madam Webb said as she pulled a smart phone from her sleeve and opened an app to show that it was connected to a security camera that was showing a live feed of her front door.

"Oh... good quality" Peter said with a nervous chuckle.

"Hmm" Madam Webb sounded as she gestured to her table before she turned and made her way to a doorway that led farther back into the shop "I'll brew us some tea. Get acquainted with the space if you'd like"

"Sure" Peter said with a nod as he continued to look around the shop 'Man, she must have every kind of tea here'

'See if there's any chocolate flavored tea... or brain flavored. I'm not picky' Venom said.

'I doubt they have a tea for either of those flavors' Peter said with an eye roll.

'Oh, so you know every tea flavor in existence?' Venom asked, the sarcasm thick in his voice.

'Well no but-'

'Then shut the fuck up and look dammit!' Venom hissed.

'Fine' Peter said with another eye roll 'Dick'

'Assehole'

'Jackass'

'Pussy'

'Parasite'

'Waste of organic material!'

'Your mother was a hamster!'

'AT LEAST MINES STILL ALIVE!'

'FUUUUUUUUCK YOUUUUUUUUUU!' Peter mentally shouted back as he passed a photo on the edge of one of the aisles and looked at it.

It was a old black and white picture with twelve people in it. Three women and eight men, all adults and a single robotic being. Peter's eyes narrowed as he stepped closer to examine the picture as he noticed something about one of the women in the picture, something familiar about her.

Around the woman stood a mixture of oddly dressed people that could give a few members of the Justice League a run for heir money in style. Peter stared at the picture closely, his gaze flickering to the visage of Red Tornado standing next to some guy dressed in what looked like some kind of cat suit with bandages wrapped around his knuckles. He also saw what appeared to be Wonder Woman, still as young as the night he saw her outside of what was left of Cadmus, standing next to a person that was wearing some kind of helmet with eyes that looked like they were glowing and a cape that was held up by a ankh of some sort.

'Man, she aged pretty well compared to Madam Webb' Peter thought as he stared at Wonder Woman's image 'Wonder what her secret is'

'Might be an Amazon, she's wearing attire that they would normally wear' Venom observed.

Peter's brow quirked at this 'How would you know that?'

'One of those hundred some subjects that Cadmus tried to bond me to before you, one of them was an Amazon, or half Amazon anyway' Venom revealed 'Still not sure where she came from or how they got her. From what I was able to briefly glance into her broken, dark mind, Amazons were a close knitted group'

'What happened to her?' Peter asked even though he had a good idea of what happened.

'She survived, surprisingly' Venom said with a frown in his voice 'Her unique biological makeup allowed her to survive the attempted bonding and my subsequent consummation of her. Now really sure how though. Then again, she was a odd one'

'What makes you say that?' Peter asked as he set the picture back down.

'She had gray skin and red eyes, pretty odd when compared to the rest of your wretched race of idiots' Venom said as Peter's eyes went back to the familiar woman.

It took a few seconds for him to put a name to the familiar face after he pictured a pair of black glasses over her eyes.

'Hey, this is Madam Webb!' Peter thought with surprise as he stared at a much younger Madam Webb standing next to a man that looked to be around her age but possessed a few scars on his face and likely his body based on how they went down his neck and under his clothes.

The younger Madam Webb was dressed in a form fitting suit with a large black spider on her front, like she was wearing now though with shorter sleeves. The man next to her, his arm wrapped around her waist and holding her close, was dressed in a dark looking trench coat, dark pants with faded stripes on them, boots, a gun belt wrapped around his waist with a revolver of some sort resting in it and a mask with goggles in his hands.

'I wonder who that is?' Peter thought as he stared at the scarred man's image and noticed that he looked, not unhappy but not happy either. If anything he seemed content with what he had and had no desire for more and was unwilling o let go of what he had already for anything.

'Boyfriend maybe?' Venom suggested.

Peter snorted at this before he saw Madam Webb return with a small tray of tea in her hands and set it down on the table. Peter wandered over and took his seat while Cassandra took her's and began to pour the tea into her and Peter's cup.

"So tell me my boy, how have things been since Washington?" the Seer of the Web of Life asked.

"Uh fine I guess" Peter said with a small shrug "I'm gonna be on this covert team thing the League thinks should be made of teenagers and I got to meet my Aunt who's spending today getting me enrolled in some school in the city because I need to 'learn how to be around other people', sooo… I guess it's an improvement from what it used to be"

"I'm happy to hear that" Madam Webb said with a small smile "Meeting your Aunt I mean. To discover you still have family left in the world to be with"

'Yeah, until Venom gives her an heart attack' Peter thought with a amused grin as he took a sip of his tea before he winced at how hot it was.

'Burn bitch' Venom growled from the back of Peter's mind 'Also that old cookie goddess loves me, she just doesn't know how to show it yet. Though making those cookies still will do'

Peter scowled as he set his tea down and let it cool for a little longer while Madam Webb studied him with an amused grin "Uh, yes?"

"I'm sorry, it's just your very different from your predecessor" Madam Webb said with small laugh as she took a sip of her tea "Your more... innocent"

"Innocent?" Peter said with a raised brow "Uh lady, have you met me or been around me for a prolonged period of time? I'm about as innocent as a computer virus"

"Well, innocent compared to Ezekiel" Madam Webb said, her smile growing more sad "His upbringing was... difficult"

"How so?" Peter asked, curious to hear of this 'Ezekiel'.

Madam Webb was quiet as she stared at Peter with a weighted gaze, a mental battle of some sort raging behind her glasses. After a few tenses seconds, she placed her cup down and folded her hands in her lap and took a deep breath as she decided to explain.

"Roughly a hundred years ago, a group of beings crossed over into our plane of existence from somewhere beyond the Web Of life's influence, and thus out of 'my' predecessor's knowledge and that of the Master Weaver. The point of origin was in Siberia, near the Podkamennaya Tunguska River. Ezekiel grew up on a small homestead just a mile away from the epicenter of the explosion of energy that was emitted from the then unknown beings crossing over..." Madam Webb trailed off with a small sigh "His parents were both killed in the event"

"Dang..." Peter said with a small whistle.

'How tragic' Venom said with a scoff.

'Don't be rude' Peter snapped.

'Boy, when you've lived as long as I have, these kinds of stories are as common as stars in space. A new one pops up every day somewhere out there in the big horror show you call a universe' Venom said.

Madam Webb, unaware of Peter's other conversation, nodded "The Madam Webb of that time had just named me her successor and sent me to find him. And I did, half dead and buried under half a tone of destroyed woodland. Even with his abilities that were awakened prematurely in the explosion, he never fully healed, both in body and in mind"

"Wait, what do you mean awakened prematurely?" Peter asked as he leaned forward "His abilities I mean. Did he not have them before the explosion?"

"The powers of the Spider awaken when the current holder of them reaches the age of ten, he was eight when they emerged and can vary from host to host. However, there are times when one's abilities are awoken earlier than intended, usually in times of great danger to help maximize the person's survival. One of his abilities, ironically, was the ability to create a sort of exoskeleton to increase his body's durability"

'Huh, this sounds a little like what happened when they bonded you to me' Peter said with a thoughtful look on his face 'After Cadmus did all those experiments on me with those spiders. I guess my powers emerged as a way to try and prevent you from consuming me like your previous hosts'

'Makes sense' Venom said with a thoughtful hum 'Though I honestly think you just got lucky'

Peter almost snorted at this 'Yeah, lucky. Go me'

"After I recovered him, me and my mentor nursed him back to health and gave him a similar conversation about his role as the Center of the Web of Life and what it meant like I did to you in Washington" Madam Webb said as she reached for her cup and gripped it and stared down at its liquid contents "He was understandably less than happy about the whole affair"

"Can't blame him..." Peter said as he grabbed his own cup and took a sip of his cooler tea "What happened afterwards?"

"We trained, he and I, to better master our powers" Madam Webb said with a small shrug "Eventually we were offered membership into the Justice Society. I accepted while he declined, at least when they first asked. He wouldn't join until after it evolved into the All-Star Squadron and we were all drafted into the war in both Europe and the Pacific"

"Why'd he say no?" Peter asked with confusion.

"Ezekiel believed that joining the Society at the time would distract him from his goal of hunting down the beings that killed his family. That was hos sole motivation throughout our training" Madam Webb said with a small sigh as memories of there days training echoed through her mind like a dark silent movie "He refused to let anything or anyone get in the way of that. He was consumed by vengeance"

Peter frowned as his gaze flickered back to the picture of Madam Webb and the man that he was starting to suspect was Ezekiel "But what about that picture over there? The one with you and those other guys? If that's him, you two seemed pretty close at the time"

Madam Webb's gaze followed Peter's and nodded "Yes, but... life can be cruel I'm afraid. Our happiness, our love, did not last long I'm sad to say"

A dark, heavy silence filled the room as Madam Webb reached up and removed her glasses to show that her eyes were watery. She quickly rubbed them to stop any tears from falling before she took a deep shuddering breath. Peter for his part didn't know what else to say, even Venom seemed to have gone silent. The two finished the tea in silence, neither feeling the need to converse with the other. After the tea was finished, Madam Webb excused herself back to the kitchen to wash the cups and tea pot while Peter sat at the table and wondered what to do now.

'Well, this visit turned out to be a lot more... well more than I was excepting' Peter said as he looked around the shop.

'What I'm curious about is the part of her story about these other beings that crossed over into our reality. For them to be unknown to the Web of Life is surprising considering it covers the multiverse' Venom said.

Peter blinked at this 'How the hell do you know that?!'

Venom growled in annoyance at this 'Weren't you paying attention when she was talking to you about it the other day? The Web of Life is a ancient mystical force that covers and connects the Multiverse, tying numerous realities fate together'

'No, I was too busy arguing with you' Peter said with a scowl of annoyance 'Also, how could you have been listening in on what she was saying when you were talking to me at the same time?'

'I'm good at multi tasking. Listening in on two different conversations is as easy to me as blinking is to you' Venom answered.

'Well mister multi tasker, you mind telling me what it was that she told us that night since I caught almost none of it' Peter asked.

'No' Venom responded instantly.

'What, why?' Peter asked with a mental whine.

'Cause you can ask her yourself. Why should I have to explain something you should have listened to in the first place?'

'Cause you made me not listen!' Peter accused the symbiote with a glare.

'Well, that's your own damn fault. Now shut up, she's back' Venom said when he noticed Madam Webb re-enter the room 'Try not to be a rude little shit and listen to what she has to say'

'Screw you' Peter said towards Venom as Madam Webb sat down.

"I'm sorry, I just... I needed a few minutes to gather myself" the elder woman said with a apologetic smile.

"It's fine, I shouldn't have asked" Peter said as he rubbed the back of his head.

'It was bound to come up eventually" Madam Webb said with a sigh before she took a deep breath and "But enough of this dark and depressing conversation. We'll have many more times to continue it later"

"Oh joy" Peter said dryly.

Madam Webb smirked a little at this before she leaned forward and rested her elbows on the table and brought up her hands and interlaced her fingers "Now, on to the matter of which your here..."

"Oh, uh right" Peter said as he cleared his throat "I was just uh... I was uh... I was wondering if there was any other stuff about the Web of Life you could tell me. Stuff that you didn't mention before I mean. Cause I know the other stuff already. So uh, no need to go through it again... hehehehe"

Madam Webb's brow raised a little at the sheepish grin the boy was giving her before she snorted in amusement "Well if you must know, the is in fact a number of things I didn't mention before hand. Partly because it'd take too long to go through it all and partly because the League dose not need to know about it"

"Makes sense" Peter said with a nod.

"So, what do you want to know?" Madam Webb asked.

"Well..." Peter began before he stopped and thought if over for a minute "Is there... is there anyone else like me- er us? Like connected to this Web of Life thing?"

Madam Webb hummed at this "There are. Several in fact"

"Really?" Peter said with surprise "Who?"

"Is my old self not good enough at the moment?" Madam Webb asked with a grin.

"What?" Peter said with surprise before he shook his head "No, no, You being old is fine. Great really, it means you've got lots of wisdoms tuff to teach me probably. I was just wondering if there are others out there is all..."

"It's fine, I can understand that you'd be more comfortable around people your own age than someone that looks like their about a cough away from a casket" Madam Webb said with a laugh "But to answer your question, there is in fact two people who are like us at the moment"

"Will I ever get to meet them?" Peter asked.

"Yes, sooner than you think" Madam Webb said with a knowing grin.

Peter couldn't stop the frown from forming at the old woman's comment "What do you mean by that?"

"You'll see" Madam Webb said with a chuckle that was cut off by the sounds of several police cars racing past the shop outside with their sirens blaring.

Peter turned towards the window with a raised brow before he shrugged and turned back to Madam Webb to ask her if she would be willing to elaborate on what she meant by 'he'll see' when he noticed the look on her face.

"Is something the matter?" he asked.

"Aren't you going to go see what that's all about?" Madam Webb nodded towards the window "Just in case?"

"I'm sure they have things covered" Peter said with a frown of confusion "I mean, isn't that their job?"

"Yes, it is..." Madam Webb said with a slow nod as she stared at Peter with an unreadable expression "And I'm sure it's nothing really but let me ask you a little question my boy. Say, it's not something simple, what if it's not something those men and women are trained for, and some of them die, how would you feel?"

"Uhh, cops die every day" Peter said with confusion "Yeah it sucks, but that's the risks of being a cop. Same with fire fighters, army guys, construction people. High risk environments or something, right?"

"But what if you could have prevented their deaths" Madam Webb said as she pointed to Peter "What if you being there made a difference?"

"How would it?" Peter asked with even more confusion 'Venom, where's she going with this?'

His question was met with silence as Madam Webb inhaled through her nose before she exhaled as she leaned back in her seat as more siren blaring police cars raced by outside "My boy, how about you and I make a deal"

"Uh, sure" Peter said with a look that was both confused but also curious.

Madam Webb nodded as she pointed out the window "I want you to go and see what the big commotion is out there and see if there's anything you can do, anything. And when your done, I want you to come back and tell me what happened and what you did to help and afterwards, you and I will see what the full range of your abilities are and plan out how to work on and improve them, or control them if necessary"

Peter blinked as he waited for the older woman to continue but received only an expectant look in return "Wait, that's it? I go see what's going on, help if I can, and then you'll help me with learning what I can do and how to make myself better?"

"Yes" Madam Webb said with a nod "And, on your way back, if you see anything else that seems like it could use your intervention, then proceed to. I'm not going anywhere anytime soon"

Peter hummed at this before he shrugged and stood up "Alright then"

"I look forward to your return" Madam Webb said as she watched Peter's clothes shiver before they began to change and cover his entire body.

The shirt and pants Peter wore quickly turned into some tar like black substance before it slowly changed to a pale white color with his sides remaining black along with the undersides of his arm and the outsides of his legs. His 'mask' possessed two black lenses that were slightly smaller and more narrow than the white lenses he had before while a large black spider formed on his chest that was more hexagonal in shape than Madam Webb's or the Spider that Venom formed on his chest the other day in the cave.

Peter frowned as he looked down at the spider on his chest 'What the hell?'

'You have spider powers, your predecessors had spider powers, your new mentor has spider powers and your connected to some cosmic spider web thing that was probably made by some spider god thing. Might as well sick with it' Venom said.

'Oh and what am I gonna call myself? The Human Spider? Man-spider?' Peter asked with an eye roll.

'Don't know, don't care. Long as it's not something stupid like White Spider. There's nothing dumber than calling yourself something that's stupidly obvious about you' Venom said in a bored tone.

'You suck more than a vacuum' Peter responded in a deadpanned tone.

'Blow me' Venom growled 'Now hurry up and go do that thing the old hag wants us to do!'

Peter scowled at the symbiote before he noticed that Madam Webb was looking at him. He gave the elder woman a sheepish grin as he began to back step towards the door.

"Well, here I go now. To see what the problem is, hehehehe"

"Be careful Peter" Madam Webb said with a saddened look on her face "And trust your instincts, they will never fail you"

"I'll try" Peter said as he turned, unlocked the door and stepped out into the world and leaped into the air and shot a black web line out and used it to swing towards the sond of sirens "I swear, this better not be some stupid false alarm"

'Something tells me it won't be' Venom said.

'What makes you say that?' Peter asked as he leaped off his web lien and shot out another as he could just make out various police cars up ahead... along with the sounds of gun fire 'Oh... hey uh Venom, how good can you make me durable again?'

'Long as they don't have fire or sonics or use something that looks like it's shot by a tank? Good enough' Venom revealed.

'Awesome' Peter said with a sigh as he landed on a ledge that over looked over twelve police cars surrounding a bank.

The police were taking cover behind their vehicles, shooting at the bank that had several people firing back with automatic rifles. Just as Peter was about to swing down and see what he could do to help, his spider-sense went off. Peter tensed before the entire front of the bank, for the lack of a better term, exploded, sending hundreds of pounds of concrete flying through the air and into neighboring buildings and all up and down the street it was on, crushing cars, lamp posts, mail boxes and sending the running cops and pedestrians into an even greater panic. The tremors from the explosion could be felt even on the ledge Peter was standing on as he looked down at the chaos with wide eyes.

'Still think they can handle this?' Venom asked.

'Uhhh, maybe I could help out a little bit' Peter said as he jumped off the ledge and shot a web line out and swung himself down into the cloud of smoke and ash and landed in a crouch.

Peter looked around for any signs of someone before his enhanced hearing picked up something big and loud moving towards him. His spider-sense flared just as he made out a large armored vehicle of some sort tear through the ash and smoke and rive right towards him at full speed. Peter leaped out of the way as the large vehicle slammed on its breaks, creating a loud screeching sound that caused Peter's skin to crawl as he landed on a police car that was torn apart by dozens of high caliber rounds and the subsequent explosion that followed. The vehicle was large, towering over Peter from both it's actual height and the fact it was on tires as tall as Peter if not more so. The wall crawler quirked his head at the sight of the behemoth before he noticed six individuals, all heavily armored and armed with large rucksacks of what he could only assume was money on their shoulders heading for the large vehicle.

'Guess that's their get away car' Peter observed the people as they opened the back hatch for the vehicle and began to throw the large bags of money in before they started to climb on in themselves.

Seeing they were distracted, Peter leaped at them with the intent of beating the ever loving hell out of them before taking the money back into the bank before he felt his spider-sense go off just as Venom spoke up.

'LOOOK OUT-' Venom's warning came to late as Peter was hit by... he wasn't really sure what did hit him.

But what he did know was that it tore a good portion of his suit apart on his chest, leaving dark discolored bruising before Venom hastily covered it back up. He also found it hard to breath, like his lungs were just used as air bags for his heart. With a pained groan, Peter sat up to see another individual emerge from the ash cloud they were, this one dressed very differently than the rest. He was in some kind of mechanized suit with glowing gauntlets that hummed with energy, likely the weapons he shot Peter with.

"Who the hell are you?" the man asked with an electronic growl to his voice, whether it was for intimidation purposes of because the helmet was getting clogged with debris in the air to alter the sound was a mystery that Peter would bother with another day.

"I'm... I'm..." Peter coughed out as he climbed back to his feet "Still working on a name... you?"

"Well than, you can call me the Shocker little bug!" the man said as he raised his arms towards Peter, casing them to hum as they built up another blast of energy to hit him with.

"Well that's a shock, also spiders are not bugs!" Peter quipped before he jumped out of the way as a beam of concussive energy fired out of Shocker's gauntlets and completely obliterated the asphalt he was just standing on.

'Best avoid another hit from those' Venom advised with a hiss 'If he hit's us any harder than earlier, I can't guarantee I'll be able to cushion it for you to survive. That energy blast... it's like I was being vibrated apart'

'So avoid vibrating gauntlets of death, no problem' Peter said with a shrug as he landed in a roll and dodged another energy blast from Shocker before he sprung up and shot multiple black web bullets at the mastermind behind this bank robbery.

The web bullets that Peter fired were high condensed orbs of Venom's biomass with a mixture of the natural webbing that Peter could produce from his wrists, it was also how he was able to form his webbing into a line to swing from or a next to capture someone or even a blanket if required. At the speed they were launched from Peter, he was expecting to see the oddly dressed Shocker to be sent flying back and into the side of the armored vehicle that the rest of his men were waiting in. What he wasn't expecting was for the web bullets to be stopped by some kind of translucent field that surrounded the man in a dome like shape.

Peter's lenses widened at this "Wait what?!"

"Like my little forcefield bug?" Shocker asked with a chuckle as he took aim at the ground before Peter and fired off a powerful shockwave from his gauntlet that forced Peter back as the group exploded.

Peter landed in a crouch on top of a chunk of asphalt and saw Shocker hop into his armored vehicle before it roared to life and it took off into the cloud of ash and dust. Unwilling to let it get away, Peter shot a web line out and swung after it.

'So Venom, any ideas on how to beat a guy that's armed with gauntlets that seem to shoot powerful vibrational shockwaves and has a forcefield?' Peter asked as he followed the armored vehicle out of the cloud and saw it ram through the police barricade it had set up without even slowing down. The driver didn't seem to car for any sort of traffic laws as he had the vehicle he was driving plow though any car that gont in front of him or run them off the road as he tore through the traffic heavy streets.

'Those gauntlets and forcefield wont matter if you can get close enough to bite his head off' Venom said, causing Peter's brow to twitch.

'How about a less gross and violent means?'

'How about stop being a pussy and just do it. Besides, he shot me, ergo I get to decide what we can do with him once we catch up to him' Venom said with a scoff.

'He shot me too you selfish jerk' Peter said with a eye roll before he saw a hatch on the top f the armored vehicle near the back open and for Shocker to climb out from it, his gauntlets activated and aimed right at him 'Uh oh'

Peter quickly released his web line and fell towards the ground to avoid the energy blast shot at him by the crazed bank robber. However, Peter misjudged how far off the ground he was and landed in the middle of the street hard enough to cause the ground to crack and to cause what few vehicles that haven't been run off the road by Shocker's vehicle to slam on their brakes and swerve around him to avoid hitting him. Peter felt his spider-sense tingle and looked up just in time to see Shocker fire off another concussive blast right towards him. Without even thinking, Peer grabbed the parked car next to him and raised it over his head and used it to shield himself, and the people behind him from the deadly column of energy.

'Did you just grab a car that's likely filled with gasoline and oil and use it to block an oncoming blast of destructive energy?' Venom asked in a dry tone.

Peter blinked at this 'Ummm maybe-'

Peter's response was cut off by the sound of Shocker's blast tearing through the car and shattering the metal and glass. Peter felt his arms shake and his spider-sense flare as he was pushed back several inches despite the fact he was using his adhesive powers to stick to the ground and have Venom create 'anchors' to dig into the street. After a few seconds, the shaking stopped and Peter's spider-sense went quiet, causing him to let out a relived sigh as he opened his eyes to see that the car was nothing more than the undercarriage, three tires and half the hood and ended just before the fuel tank.

'Well that could have ended badly' Peter said with a nod as he turned and put what was left of the car back where he grabbed it just as it's owner came running up.

He stood out a bit to Peter given his hair cut reminded him of a brush and he had a small little square looking mustache on his face that seemed to always be in a scowl of some sort.

"M-My... my car..." the man said as he looked at what was left of his vehicle with wide eyes.

"Are you okay sir?" Peter asked the odd looking man.

"Am I okay?" the man asked with a frown before he glanced at what was left of his car before he rounded on Peter with an enraged look on his face "AM I OKAY? Is that what you have to say for using my car like a damn shield?!"

Peter blinked at the man "Huh?"

"Why couldn't you just dodge the hit? Better yet, throw something at the blast to cause it to explode before it got too close?" the man said as he got right into Peer's face and began to poke at his chest, causing Venom to growl in the back of his mind "Why did you have to take my forty thousand dollar car, a gift from my son mind you, and use it like some damn shield!?"

"Cause I didn't want to get killed nor the people I used it to help protect too I imagine" Peter said with a simple shrug before he gave the man a two finger salute "But I'll keep the downside of using random people's stuff to save me and others from certain death in mind for the future my funny mustache looking guy. Now if you excuse me, I got a quilt man in an armored car thingy to catch!"

And with that, Peter turned and leaped into the air and shot a web line out and used it to swing after the man with powerful shockwave emitting gauntlets.. much to the ire of the man that was now shaking his fist at Peter with an enraged expression on his face.

"What so you take my car and get it destroyed and now your gonna go off and do the same thing to other peoples cars or worse people themselves? You haven't heard the last of me you damned menace! Do you hear me, if it's the last thing that I do you'll pay for this!" the man yelled as Peter swung after the speeding armored vehicle "And when J. Jonah Jameson makes a vow, he keeps it!"

'Think we should worry about him?' Peter asked with a snort as he launched himself of the web line and shot out another to swing from.

Venom scoffed at this 'Please, what's the worse this Jameson guy can do?'

Peter couldn't help but nod in agreement 'Good point, I mean it's not like he can make our lives even more of a hell, right?'

If only they knew.

...

And done.
