What If the story had planned things differently for Otto Octavius. Especially if he had bonded with the Carnage symbiote in Spider-Man 2. Find out in this Fanfiction.
Location: The Bank:
Date and Time: 2004 2:30PM
Peter sat on a chair in front of the bank employee who was discussing Aunt May's financial issues as they could have caused her to get her home taken away.
That's the social security Peter said as he handed over the document.
- Yes, I see the bank employee responded.
I will also pay all the amount of money I have Peter said.
Yes, but I'm afraid it's just not sufficient to refinance your home the bank employee responded.
That's ok I will find another source of income Uncle Ben responded as he was physically present with him at the bank trying to help out with whatever contribution he could get up his sleeve.
In the original Spiderman 2 timeline Peter was sitting in the bank with Aunt May who was trying to get a loan to refinance her home. However, since Uncle Ben did not die in this timeline Due to Escaping his fate in the previous fan fiction what if Spiderman got his power from the Venom symbiote instead He was able to accompany Peter to the Bank instead.
I will find a job and all the other means necessary he added.
We appreciate that you've just opened up a new supersaver account
with us today the bank employee responded.
But the fact is you do not have the assets
to justify this loan. I'm sorry he added.
Well at least we get the toaster Uncle Ben said hopefully.
Actually, that's only with a deposit of or more the bank employee said.
Oh, yes, I see Uncle Ben said finally having all his hope exhausted. At this rate we might come on the road he added.
Don't worry, we'll figure it out Peter said trying to reassure his uncle. Ben smiled with satisfaction at Peter. You have been doing your part for the past 2 years Pete Uncle Ben said as he conveyed his satisfaction with Peter.
The Uncle Nephew duo was about to have an emotional moment thanking each other for doing their best on their sides. When suddenly a big red monster showed up. The monster had red and black colour on his slimy body. It had Doctor Octavius's tentacles, but his demeanor was violent and actions toward the employee of the bank and the customers brutal.
It was none other than the Carnage Symbiote who had bonded with Doctor Octavius therefore becoming monster octopus.
What the hell is that thing Uncle Ben asked as he failed to understand what was happening.
Alright Carnage what is our first move? Otto asked from the inside of the symbiote. Carnage turned his gaze towards Peter. He felt a familiar presence inside of Peter. Uncle ben noticed the gaze.
Realizing that Peter is the target he got ready to take action. I want to eat that guy Carnage said as he communicated his Otto.
Alright Otto responded from inside. The symbiote drove the tentacles towards peter. Everything rendered into slow motion as if time had slowed down.
A tentacle came in a blinding flash speed. Peter was about to make his move when he got pushed by someone. Peter watch out!! Uncle Ben screamed in warning.
Peter fell to his back. I will chew on you instead old ass Carnage taunted but before he could implement four police officers cornered the monster. Uncle Ben had been hurt. Blood came from Ben's right bicep.
Freeze the officer demanded. Try us Carnage responded as he smirked.
Don't worry sir just hang in their someone said to Uncle Ben before calling an ambulance.
Carnage attacked using the tentacles on the police. One of them pulled the trigger and fired multiple bullets. To the officer's horror the bullets came out doing no damage
My turn carnage said before eating off the head of an officer. Seeing the head of their fellow officer being devoured the other 3 officers were struck by horror. They knew in their hearts that carnage was no other villain. He was death itself.
Carnage tried to bite of another officer's head, but a web came sticking to his mouth. Don't you know it is bad manners to let others smell your breath before brushing teeth spiderman said.
Carnage shifted his gaze to spiderman who had arrived. A new horror grew into Peter's heard, mind and soul. Hold on he said. Thats impossible! he added. At that moment Peter was shocked as to what on earth is another symbiote doing on this earth.
Just then it all occurred to Peter as he pieced together the puzzle and considered the possibility of Venom hiding something from him.
No wonder why Venom kept it quite at the vision of another symbiote lurking around on earth. Before Peter react the reality hit him as carnage attacked him in the gut stabbing him brutally.
Peter coughed out some blood as he processed was happening. Carnage then delivered a devastating punch to the face. Peter now helplessly coughed out more blood.
Carnage moved forward toward his enemy but felt holes in his back. He even heard gunshots from behind.
Stay away from our hero one of the officer's said as he felt it his responsibility to protect the citizens. He also felt concern from spiderman as he truly trusted him even in situations worse than death.
You are truly brave I give you that Carnage said before grabbing the police officer and getting away from the bank.
In the original Spiderman Two timeline Dr Octopus took Aunt May as a hostage threatening to kill her if anyone tried to stop him. However, in this alternate timeline since Aunt May was at home and Uncle Ben was hurt Carnage decided to take the cop as a Hostage.
Carnage took the cop and climbed up a building. Sayonara Officer, he said before trying to toss the hostage away. Before the cop could get thrown and let out his dying cry carnage failed to throw him away.
Carnage stared at the tentacle in which he held the officer hostage. Spider-man had regained focus and already snatched the officer and sent him to safety. What do we do now carnage Otto asked from the inside.
If we can't steal money to repair the fusion reactor we might as well steal the parts and other materials needed as resources to create a fusion reaction carnage responded.
Then I guess we should scram out of here Otto Suggested. Exactly Carnage responded. Then off we go otto responded as he agreed.
And with that Carnage and Otto Octavius got away leading to fear and chaos spreading in the heart of the city as citizens were worried about their safety with the monster octopus lurking around and Spider-Man being helpless against him.
Scene break:
Location: The hospital:
Date and Time: 2004 4:55 PM:
Peter Set in the waiting room of the hospital being worried about Uncle Ben's condition. He knew the injury wasn't serious, but he feared losing his loved one.
Just before peter could lose his mind due to concern, he heard the door of the operation theater open. Peter turned to ask the Doctor How Uncle Ben was, But to his relief it was Uncle Ben who stepped out as he had yet again survived and recovered well after the operation.
Oh, thank God you're all right Peter said as relief impacted his heart. For a second I thought I lost you he added.
Of course, Pete I right here and don't worry I'll always be there to support you and advise you because I trust you with The responsibility you began to take two years ago uncle ben responded.
Peter rushed towards Uncle Ben and gave him a hug expressing how relieved he was for nothing happening to Uncle Ben in spite of the injuries.
That villain will pay for what he did Peter said As he whispered in Uncle Ben's ears.
Not me Peter Uncle Ben responded. If anyone you should avenge it would be that officer whose head was eaten by That monster he added. I agree Peter responded.
I know that officer a little bit personally, he was Captain Stacy the father of Gwen Stacy who is a classmate of mine in university he added.
In the original timeline Captain Stacy did not die but rather he revealed who killed Uncle Ben in the movie Spider-man 3. However in this Alternate timeline carnage ate his head off leading to Gwen Stacy falling into trauma.
In spite of being close to Mary Jane Peter considered Gwen Stacy also a friend and would do anything to avenge her dad's death.
Promise me you'll avenge her father Peter Uncle Ben requested with tears in his eyes as he felt sorry for the officer.
I promise Uncle Ben Peter said with tears coming out of his eyes.
That's a good nephew Uncle Ben responded in appreciation.
Anyways you need to take a rest so let's get you home Uncle Ben Peter responded showing his promise to keep his loved ones and the city safe.
He then helped Uncle Ben by supporting him and walking him home.
Aunt May who had got the news that Ben was hurt was worried sick at home. she was praying for Ben and Peter's safety When suddenly she heard a doorbell.
Coming She responded as she rushed to the door. Upon opening the door she saw it was Norman Osborn. Oh, hi Norman she responded. What brings you here she added.
Oh, it's nothing Aunt May I just came here to tell you something important and good Norman responded. Oh, then come in right ahead Aunt May responded.
Norman stepped in and explained everything that she needed to know. May could not believe it at that moment. She thanked him and told him to say hi to harry on her behalf. I'll do it Norman responded.
As they were talking there was another doorbell ringing at the front door. Oh it must be Peter and Ben I will be right back just wait Norman okay? May asked before rushing to the door.
And indeed, it was ben and peter at the door that May noticed when she opened the door. oh, honey please come in peter you two may requested both the uncle and the nephew to come in and join them.
Uncle Ben and Peter stepped in and saw Norman. Hey Sir What brings you here Peter asked out of curiosity.
Oh, nothing Norman responded. Just felt like paying a visit after all its been a long while since I paid a visit he added. Oh, that's so nice of you Sir peter responded in appreciation.
By the way I would have loved to have a conversation, but I just have to go now so take care Pete Norman responded before leaving in a hurry.
So Aunt May? peter asked. why was Harry's dad here? Peter asked.
The explanation coming from Aunt May's mouth surprised Peter and Ben.
She revealed that Norman had transferred a big amount of money in their Super Saver account in order to refinance their house. He also told me to give this envelope to you it contains a letter just for you Peter she added.
Um ok Peter responded before taking the envelope. He then opened the envelope and found what was inside of it. It was a letter from Norman. It said:
Norman Osborn Tudor City area of New York City. spanning from East 40th to East 43rd Street between First and Second Avenues in Manhattan
1/3/2004
Peter Parker
Dear Peter.
I hope this letter finds you well. I wanted to take a moment to express my heartfelt gratitude for saving me from the evil goblin persona 2 years ago. I have overcome the problem thanks to you. If not for you I would have been dead today.
It truly meant a lot to me, and I am incredibly appreciative of your encouragement and mercy. Your merciful way of handling things and sparing my life in addition of providing emotional support and aid in overcoming the goblin persona really save me from death and my life from total downfall and ruin.
It reminded me of how everyone gets a second chance at becoming good. For saving my life from such horror I am grateful of you.
As a Token of appreciation, I have Transferred a big amount in Aunt May's super saver account. That should be enough to refinance her home.
Once again, thank you for everything and don't hesitate to ask for help. Like I said 2 years ago you are like Harry's brother which makes you family and so family helps each other which you did so please accept this help from my end as a token of appreciation.
With sincere appreciation, Norman Osborn.
Peter could not believe it. He knew that Norman would appreciate but to go this far was surprising not to mention extremely kind and generous. With the financial issues out of the way Peter didn't just feel relieved but also focused on his job as a photographer and duty as spiderman as he had nothing to worry about regarding Aunt May and Uncle Ben's financial security.
Peter was so happy that he chose to keep that letter with himself as a reminder of how he can rely on Norman in such time.
Peter put the letter back in the envelope and the envelope in his pocket. Then Peter's demeanor changed from appreciative to serious.
He went back to his room in his apartment. Peter then locked the door and closed the windows. Peter also covered up the windows with curtains making sure that no one would see what is going on in his room.
Alright Venom we need to talk Peter said. And I would appreciate you for answering the question he added.
Oh, should have known Venom responded as he realised that the truth was out and that he would need to explain it to Peter.
Alright then Venom, Tell me Peter said. Did you know that there was another symbiote lurking around? he added.
Well I may have forgotten to mention that I can see the memories of other symbiotes as my ability allows me to Venom responded getting nervous. You see it works like ... he added.
Just tell me!! Did you know or not?!!! Peter screamed in anger. It was Peter's real anger, not the result of Venom's influence. Seriousness could be seen burning in his eyes as he questioned Venom.
OK! alright!! I'll tell you everything just don't give me that ok?!! Venom responded as he was for the first time in his life being scared of human beings and got ready to spill the beans.
Alright venom said after clearing his throat. The ability I kept secret from you was the ability to connect to the hive mind to see the memories of other symbiotes in order to detect their presence he added.
How does this ability work? Peter asked
It works in a way that every time a symbiotes sees something other symbiotes can access the memory of those things being seen Venom responded as he was scared enough to wet his pants.
Moreover, all of us are connected to each other through the hive mind which allows us to see each other's memories of different places therefore allowing us to Determine each other's location and whereabouts even from far away distances he added.
how long have you known that? Peter asked in a serious voice as rage and demand Flooded in his voice. It was clear that he wanted answers otherwise it would have been trouble for Venom.
For the past three days Venom responded.
You mean since the day I had the nightmare of That symbiote? Peter asked
Yes, that is right since Venom responded.
did you see it was like a dream, so I was just ignor..... he added.
Why did you keep quiet about it?!! Peter yelled in fury as anger coursed through his veins. it would have been much worst Had I not asked now and stayed in the dark for longer than that!!! he added as a scolding.
He was mad at Venom for hiding such an important detail. Had Venom been honest that police officer would have been saved from getting his head eaten of by Carnage.
Peter was also mad because he felt bad that he could not save that police officer who was Gwen Stacy's dad captain Stacy.
Someone innocent died due to my failure thanks to you Peter yelled at Venom for being so careless.
Bro calm down man Venom said in request. On the bright side your Aunt and Uncle have their home refinanced.
Don't Compare personal benefit to the innocent people's life Venom Peter screamed. Venom had never been this much intimidated before.
I am sorry Pete Venom said after a minute of silence that felt like an eternity. I guess I am just a burden on you he added.
Worthless is a better word for describing you peter said in a soft voice. That's it You have to leave he added.
wh- wha- what? venom asked shocked at peter's response. What are you talking about? We made a deal remember? he added.
Exactly peter responded. We made a deal that I would get to be the hero and save lives but thanks to your slow speed one innocent person has died, it's over deal's off and no more Spiderman he added.
Bro you can't do that, think about it We can still fix it venom responded.
I said the deal is off Peter responded in an angry voice.
You can't stay anymore you have to go he added
But Venom responded.
Now!!! Peter yelled.
At that moment Venom could have attacked but he didn't. It may have been abrupt, but he had grown attached to Peter throughout the past two years. So much that he had even changed his mind of using Peter as a vessel. He just felt he wanted to have a friend in order to avoid being the loser he was on Klyntar Planet where the other symbiotes would make fun of him.
It was as if Venom had found a purpose and a meaning to his own life in the form of humans and earth. He knew it in his heart as to what earth and humans meant to him.
And saying goodbye to them was like accepting the fact that the meaning he found was being taken away.
Venom detached himself from Peter's Nervous system in order to be separated. The symbiote slowly crawled out of the window and onto the streets.
At that moment Peter knew that he had lost his powers and that the hero Spider-man he had created by using that power was now gone.
but peter was so devastated by captain Stacy's death that he didn't care he no longer wanted to be the hero and just thought of living a normal life with Mary Jane and his Uncle and Aunt.
Venom was now On the street looking like a black slime from far away was still visible to Peter who could see some liquid that could be tears coming from Venom's eyes.
The symbiote turned to give one last look to Peter Before saying his goodbye.
peter looked away and closed the window and covered it with the curtains Symbolizing his hatred towards venom and desire to move on.
Peter then took out his diary onto a fresh page. The end Spider-Man was gone was all that he could write on the page before putting it into the drawer And shutting the drawer and locking it up.
With the Venom symbiote gone Peter no longer possessed the powers he had as Spider-man. He knew that the hero he had become would soon be considered dead or disappeared as the source of his powers was no longer present in him. It was a tough call, but Peter had to make it in regret of not being able to save an innocent person.
Venom on the other hand was left with a sense of loss. The loss of a true friend.
Is this loss a permanent one? Or would it be resolved later? Will Peter regain his powers and responsibility? Or will he live normal life signifying the death of Spider-man find out in the next chapter.
A/N Yeah, I know this was an unexpected turn in the story, but it had to come to pass this way. But do not worry, everything will be all right and intense not to mention interesting as the story continues. That's it for this chapter Hope you guys enjoyed and I'll see you guys in the next chapter until then keep reading, keep enjoying the multiverse, stay tuned and take care.
