Chapter 106 - The Tower

"Ah...wait, where's your sister?" I asked, pushing away the embarrassing feelings I got from remembering what just happened a

few moment ago. At the time I didn't realise the implications of what happened, I had given into my lust fully and wholly...guess

that's what happened when I hanged around with a woman that turned me into a sex freak.

"She's in her lab I think," Johnny shrugged, "I heard her slamn her door shut and the scary agent lady going in after her. Did

something happen?"

I gulped, "I-I'll go find out," I walked away, leaving Johnny to his work, which I'm guessing from the pictures and big catchy titles

featuring 'The Human Torch' were blog posts that spoke about him as a Superhero.

I walked to Sue's lab and was about to enter when I stopped, the muffled voices coming from inside were loud. They were

talking...about me? I enhance my hearing and listened.

"...how old are you?!" Sue cried out, "twenty two?! Twenty five?!"

"I'm actually over fifty years old," Jessica's voice replied calmly.

"What?!"

"I was frozen in ice, I don't match with how I look. So if I'm going after someone my age, I'll be stuck with an old geezer."

"Fine! Then forget about what I said about dating people your own age! Peter's a minor! A kid! You're committing a crime!"

"Like I give a damn," Jessica snorted.

"What?!"

"I said I don't' care. I spent a lifetime hidden away and scared because of my powers….because of what I can do. Now, I finally

found a guy who shares that burden, no way in hell I'm going to give him up just because he's too young. So what if he's a little

younger than me, I want him, I'm taking him."

"B-but you'll be arrested!"

"Yeah...probably. But only if you tell...are you?"

"W-what?"

"Are you going to tell on us? Are you going to tell everyone you watched him fuck me? Are you going to tell them you were

excited at the sight and then sad because it wasn't you?"

"I-I-"

"-You don't have to lie," Jessica called back, "I honestly don't mind. Like I told you before, I don't mind sharing him. Especially

with someone who loves him." I felt my ears burn at the proclamation.

"I don't love him!"

"Yes you do," I heard Jessica snorted, "Peter can't smell it, his powers aren't as refined as mine. He can smell lust, but he can't

tell the difference, he thinks it's always lust. I can, you want to fuck him, yes, that's true, but you also want to love him...isn't that

right?"

Silence reigned for a long, long time. Sue finally did speak, "no...I don't."

And i didn't have to be in the room to smell the sadness and regret that came out of Sue, it was literally all around me. It was a

lie, and a bad one.

"Whatever you say," Jessica opened the door and turned to me, nodding, "ready?"

I nodded back, "r-ready."

"Then let's go," she replied as she walked away. I turned and saw Sue inside the room, looking horrified. I wanted to tell her

something but reframed, obviously this wasn't the time for this conversation.

I walked back to the lounge, Johnny and Jessica were ready. "Alright," I tightened my gauntlets, "let's stop this mad man."

"Wait," we turned around and saw Sue walked up to us.

"Hey sis, what's up?" Johnny asked.

"I'm coming with you," she took off her lab coat and revealed her uniform underneath.

"Are you sure? You usually aren't up for these sort of things," Johnny asked.

Sue nodded, "I'm sure, let's go," she looked at me, immediately blushed and looked away, walking up to Johnny who carried her

in his arms.

Jessica meanwhile got on my back as we walked to the veranda and I jumped out, swinging away as Johnny flew ahead of us

with his sister in his arms.

We arrived at Oscorp in a few minutes later, the building was already being evacuated, I saw people rushing out of the front

doors, men and women in suits guiding them out. Obviously Homeland security took this situation very seriously.

I turned to Jessica who nodded, "it's secure. The building should be empty, meaning the only person left inside is the Lizard."

"Alright then, Sexy, can you scan the building's video feed?" I asked as I walked up to a data port on a dish tower located on

the roof and inserted a cable from my helmet into it.

"Accessing…, no sorry, Oscorp's security is far too advanced, unless you give me a direct line into their servers I can't do

anything significant," the AI replied in a dejected tone.

"It's fine, we'll just have to search the building," I motioned to the others, "Johnny, can you search the window and fly around?

If you see-"

"-got it!" he took off in a hurry, flying into the air and down, spinning around the building and scanning the windows.

"Jessica, Sue, we'll split up, if anything happens and you find him, contact the rest of us immediately," I told the women who

nodded and with another word they walked into the building through the roof access door.

I turned to the roof's edge and took off, running and leaping off the side of the building and shooting out a web line to catch

the edge and swing around. I landed on the side of a window and stood up, walking adjacent to the building, searching the

floors quickly for any outward sign of the Lizard.

It took us ten minutes before we got anything. "I found him!" came Johnny's frantic cry, "he's on the thirty first floor! I lost him

already, but I'm sure he's not going anywhere else!"

"I'm on my way," Jessica replied.

"So am I," Sue cut in, louder and with more force.

"Sexy, what is on that floor?" I asked my AI.

"Nothing of importance. It contains the accounts department as well as maintenance."

"What sort of maintenance?" I asked curiously.

"Ventilation."

Suddenly, everything clicked. The mutagen was airborne, he would release it in the ventilation room and it would go pour of

the tower and into the city. For anyone else, it would like the tower caused the accident, doctor C would have his wish and

Osborn would once more be humiliated.

"Guys, I know what he's planning," I activated my compns as I turned around and ran to the roof once more, "he's going to

release the toxin in the ventilation room."

"That makes no sense!" Jessica hissed, "why would he steal the dispersion unit if he's going to rely on the building's ventilation

system?"

"Because he's going to super charge it," Johnny cut in, "the machine will produce butt loads of the gas, but if he released it on

the roof it would just disperse outwardly and not affect anyone, assuming the mutage is lighter than air."

"It is," Sue replied.

"Then….then he would need to combine the mutage with toxins, such as the back draft from the ventilation shaft! That's why

he's going to try and use it the tower's ventilation!"

I growled, "I fucking hate this thing! Fuck! Fine, you guys focus on stopping the Lizard, I'll block all the ventilation points with my

webs! Sexy-"

"One step ahead of you boss," immediately a map of the building and all the active ventilation units was displayed before me.

Unlike what most people believed ventilation didn't just take up on the top, there were also several shafts along the side of the

building, and for Oscorp especially, since it had multiple towers attached to it, there were several openings.

In this case, ten in total.

I adjusted my web settings to consett thick and swung over to the nearest vent. I reached the vent, the loud roar of its engine

was clear to me even on top of the windy skyscraper.

I grabbed the vern's cover and ripped it open. I looked down, there was a fan inside. I took out a web grenade and throw it in.

PFT!

The grenade exploded on impact and caused the entire fan system to shut down. I then threw down several concert hard

webbing onto the vent shaft, covering it fully, it was effectively airtight. I placed the vent back in place and then took off.

I moved quickly, three vents, five vents, seven vents, all in quick successions. The moment I closed off the ninth vent I heard a

scream on the open comms system.

"ARGH!"

My eyes widened, "Sue!"

"Peter! She's about to fall out a window!" Jessica cried out.

I ran away from the sealed off vent, "where's Johnny?!"

"He's holding the Lizard back, hurry!" she yelled.

Sexy displayed Sue's location, I swung over, she was facing the North side, I was in the South. I swung over and immediately

spotted the short haired blonde woman in blue falling with increasing velocity.

My eyes widened, "no! Sue!" I let go of the web and folded my arms together, shooting down like a rocket. Imagines of another

blonde fall off a bridge came to mind, the idea of Sue Storm taking Gwen Stacy's place terrified me.

'No,' I told myself, 'I won't ever let that happen!' I shot out both hands and focused, shooting out two glowing red and gold

whips of Vastha that soared out faster than my webs ever could.

They were almost sentient in the way they grabbed onto Sue's sternum, I suppose in a way they were. I pulled her and the

woman came flying into my open arms.

"Got you!" I cried out as I had an arm wrapped around her waist and shot a web line out with my other.

The line latched onto the building and it was quickly strung tightly as we came swinging into the skyscraper window. I protected

Sue as we hit the window, lucky she was safe, her arms wrapped around my neck protectively.

I sighed, my heart slowing down as I looked down and I saw the woman look down in fear, those blue eyes then turned to me, a

look of absolute awe on her face.

"Are you okay?" I asked as I planted my feet on the windows and let go of the webline that saved our lives.

"I-I...are you?" her tone begging, almost hurt.

I chuckled, "I'll be better," I rotate my free hand, "I think I snapped something, that much force and weight in one arm was...well,

let's just say it's a good thing I have super strength and can heal, or else I would be the amazing one armed Spider instead."

I chuckled, trying to defuse the tension, but She didn't look like she was up for it.

"You idiot!" she cried out, "you didn't have to do that! What if you got hurt?!"

I blink, "I can heal...you do know that right?"

"You could heal?! Really?! I didn't know that! Can you heal if you were crushed into a paste?!"

I growled, "hey! I just saved your life! I would appreciate it if you didn't yell at me!"

"Yeah well fuck you!" Sue cried out, her eyes now filled with tears, "I didn't ask you to save me!"

"Well you didn't have too!" I growled back, she was quite, crying as she did. I sighed, rolling my eyes, "for God's sake...Sue, why

are you acting like this?"

She looked at me, she reached up and tapped the side of my helmet, unlocking it and removing it from my head. The cold

breeze of the night hit me hard and then suddenly Sue's lips sent a warmth through my whole body.

It was so suddenly I didn't realise she had even done it. And then it was over. She moved back from the kiss, looking at me with

those perfect eyes now filled with a strained focus.

"I….I don't know why I did that," she whispered.

I blinked, "I...did you like it?"

She nodded, "yes….please, let's not talk about this. We need to stop the Lizard...please, just get us up there."

I nodded slowly, she placed the helmet back on me and I swung us back up to the window out of which she flew out off. All the

while wondering just what has happened to my life.

I loved Felicia, if truth be told, I still do. That woman...she was my love. She left me and one day I would get her back. But then

Jean came...and I honestly don't know what to think about the woman.

Then came Jessica, and while the sex was fun, before fun even, I again didn't know what to think off her. And now Sue? Damn,

if I didn't know any better I would say I'm starting to get a harem...shit, I have a harem don't I?

I pushed my thought of love aside, obviously the Lizard took priority over them all. I reached the floor She flew out of, the

broken window kind of gave it away.

We landed on the office room and Sue got off my back. We both charged through the man size hole in the wall before us and

followed the sound of cries and bullets. We ran into the maintenance room and found the Lizard inside with his machine and

surrounded Jessica and Johnny. The former was shooting him with blast s of green energy while the latter sent fireballs to

blast him into a corner.

"We almost got him!" Jessica cried out, "keep going!"

"SCREECH!" the Lizard jumped, swerved and doged several energy blast and headed for an open vent, just as Sue summoned

an invisible barrier to block the monster's path, causing him to slide headfirst into an invisible barrier.

"Sis!" Johnny cried out happily, he was distracted, and in his distraction he didn't see the Lizard jumping up to collide into his

burning form. "Off!" Johnny cried out in pain.

"No! Johnny!" Sue held out her hands and formed a bubble to grab her brother.

"SCREE!" the Lizard cried out as it was on fire now. It began to claw at it's scales scrapping them away to stop the fire.

"Get back here!" Jessica took out her gun and fire off two rounds into its chest. The Lizard jumped and rushed to his machine,

grabbing it and lifting it over it's head with a mighty roar.

"Fuck!" Jessica cried out as the Lizard threw its own machine at her.

Boom!

The Spider enhanced women jumped away in time, landing on the other side of the room, leaving the Lizard free to escape

through the vents. But before he did I saw him reach into the machine and grab a veil of green serum and run away.

"Are you okay?" I asked Jessica.

"Fine," she grunted as she turned to Johnny, "you flame butt?"

Johnny grunted as he stood up, "yeah, I'm good. Thanks for the lift sis"

Sue nodded, "no problem."

"He got away with the serum," Jessica hissed, "did you seal off all the vents?"

"All except one," I replied, "which is probably where he's going to be."

"Then that's where we are going too," Jessica replied as we all moved, once more going through the broken window, moving up

to the main roof where the last vent was located. Jessica was again on my back and Johnny carried Sue.

The moment we arrived the vent cracked open as it's ventilation fan was sent flying out through the air. The Lizard crawled out

and the moment it did I sent a web grenade at it. The monster ducked, but I was never aiming for it.

Pft!

The grenade exploded inside the vent, sealing the monster's escape route. And judging by the Lizard was glaring at me, it knew

exactly what I just did.

"Spider," it hissed.

"Oh, so you can talk," Johnny snorted, "what? Are we not good enough to talk about or something?"

The Lizard said nothing, growling at us as we slowly surrounded it. Jessica readied her gun in one hand and her bio electricity

in the other, "you aren't going anywhere doctor Corners, please, come with us quietly."

The Lizard hissed, "Screen."

"I'm going to take that as a no," I grumbled, "Sue, contain him," I took out the blue antidote, "I'll change him back."

"Right!" Sue cried out as she created an invisible barrier around the Lizard. The monster immediately tried to escape by tackling

into it. And though the dome did shake several times, and Sue looked like she was being pushed to her limits, the barrier held.

"Damn," I whispered, "you should totally work on your powers. They are so badass!"

Sue grunted, but said nothing. The Lizard looked at it, it's beady eyes filled with fear. It was trapped, we knew it, it knew it. It

slowly turned down to the serum in its hands and smiled.

"Oh fuck," I gasped as it opened the tube and swallowed it whole, "no!"

The Lizard threw the test tube aside as it began to shiver and then spasm. It growled as it was crouched over and morphing,

changing before our eyes.

"Guys! This doesn't look good!" Johnny cried out.

"GRA!" the Lizard there it's head up and yelled out, it's features morphing as it grew bigger and stronger. It's scales began to

shimmer as they grew to look like tiny little blades. His nails grew three times longer and it's tail that was blown off grew back

all at once.

"GRAA!" it cried out as it threw it's hand out as shards of sharp bone like protrusions came out of its elbows and knees. They

even grew on shoulder and along his spine, all the way to his tail.

"Sis, what the hell is going on?!" Johnny cried out, "how is that thing changing?! Is it a freaking super saiyan?!"

"I don't know," was all she could say, nothing else could explain the confusion we all felt as we saw the Lizard growl and turn to

us with fury in its eyes.

"GRA!" it threw it's fist forward and smashed into Sue's barrier. This time, it didn't last a second.

"ARGH!" Sue cried out, holding her head in pain as the barrier explodes upon impact, the Lizard was free.

"Sue!" I ran to her side as she held her head in pain, "are you alright?"

"Stop him!" Jessica fired off several rounds. Johnny matched her aim, but the Lizard's new form was faster, so much faster.

It went behind the vent and hide. The moment Johnny took off into the sky it grabbed the vent and pulled it out of the roof

without any effort. It then threw it at Johnny, the teenage barely had enough time to dodge, though it still clipped his side,

sending him spiraling down into the ground.

"Shit!" I ignored Johnny, Jessica was already tending to him. I turned and ran to the Lizard, it spotted me instantly. I growled and

threw my hands out;

SKIT!

My stingers flashed brightly, "bring it!"

The monster roared, accepting the challenge. It came at me and swiped at my head, I ducked and skidded under its massive

arms. I stopped on the other side and jumped over its body and landing uned a swing of it's fists.

"ARGH!" I plunged my fist into his gut, puncturing his side and spraying blood out of one corner. It grunted in pain as its own

sharp scales had hurt me, bad. The Lizard looked down at me and growled, reaching down it grabbed my hand and pushed my

whole body away.

I landed on my feet and watched as it's wounds healed up in seconds, it stood now whole once more, growling, snarling.

I felt my anger take hold, it was time to truly fight back. I charged him, he charged back. We were like animals, relying on pure

instinct alone to try and kill each other. None of my carefully honed styles of martial arts mattered anymore, I didn't have the

time nor the focus to apply them.

I hurt him, he hurt me. His claws stung my body like needles, his scales hurt my fists and arms when I punched him. My stingers

cut into his body and made him bleed, my costume prevented any actual puncturing, my healing factor taking care of any

bruising or battering.

I pounced on him as we caught each other in a hold as we rolled around on the roof, constantly trying to get the upper hand,

until finally the Lizard's superior weight and size won out, managing to pin me to the ground.

I managed to pull my strength together and pushed my legs against his chest, shoving him away and back away from my

person.

The Lizard flew threw the air and landed on his feet, growling as he turned back and saw the exit to the roof. I cursed, i forgot

about that. He turned tail and ran, "no! Sue! Stop him!"

"Right!" the woman replied as she tried to form a barrier, but before the Lizard even broke through it, a glowing green orb of

light came flying threw the air and hit him in the side.

BOOM!

"KREEE!" the Lizard cried out as he started to spasm out in pain.

"Am I late to the party?!" I looked up and saw Glider came flying down, a pair of giant gauntlets in his arms and a staff in hand.

I had to say that honestly, this might be the only time in my life I would ever be glad to see that wannabe.

"Right on time!" I cried out as I socked the Lizard across the jaw. Glider then came behind him, grabbed the staff on his back

and swung hard, smashing the Lizard's jaw in.

The monster cried out, it tried to get away, but before I could do anything to stop it, Sue was on her feet, slamming an invisible

wall in the Lizard's path, startling the creature.

We slowly surrounded him, it looked around frantically, looking for a way to escape, but we obviously weren't going to let him.

Harry sent another bomb that shocked people instead of exploding. The Lizard was then bathed with Johnny's flames and a

giant invisible hammer crushed him to the ground. Jessica fired off several bullets from her gun, each charged with her own

form of bioelectricity and I threw all my remaining web grenades at him, pinning him to the ground.

The Lizard cried out in pain, it couldn't move, it was constantly being bombarded. Even it's newly thickened skin and

regenerative powers did nothing to ten seconds, it was all over. It collapsed to the ground, finally knocked out.

We all were panting, tiered. Glider chuckled, "that was easy," immediately we all turned to him and glared, "d-did I say something

wrong?"

I grumbled as i sat down, "this...was a long, long week."

Jessica had SHIELD come on and take Conners away. We tried to administer the antidote to turn him back, but after the second

dose...well, we weren't sure what we were dealing with anymore. He didn't change bak, not fully anyway.

SHIELD did promise to try and change him back though, and I think they could actually do it, hopefully. Johnny and Sue decided

to go back to the Baxter building for a nice well earned rest while Jessica was forced to stay with her unit and fill in an incident

report. While this did leave me alone, I didn't mind, I honestly had more than enough adventure to last a month.

I swung back home and snuck into my room. I peeled off the unstable molecule suit and threw it across the room. I sighed, the

suit did well for a initial test run. However, it was honestly a little rough around the edges.

It had the potential to be so much more, yet I kept a very limited scope. Maybe I should get someone else to take a look at it to

suggest some changes into it.

I sighed and collapsed on my bed, exhausted. I looked up at my ceiling and felt my eyes droop down, I was so...tired.

As I drifted off to sleep though I wondered...what was Felicia doing? Was she happy? Was she safe?

I don't know why I keep wondering about her...she did leave me. But still...even after all this time, after Jean, Jessica and even

the potential romance with Gwen or Sue...God, that women still had me.

I sighed. Hopefully, whatever comes next will be kinder to me. I pray that I wasn't just getting started on a long long tiring

journey...oh what I am saying, it's me. Of course that's exactly what's going to happen! Fuck!

I'm on a diet...I don't like it. Anyway, yes, Jessica will act like a catalyst for Sue, but it won't be anytime soon. And while I don't

like the idea of a harem, and I know I seem to be settign up one, I honestly don't plan on having the final pairing be a harem.

Anyway, so far it seems Spider-Gwen is leading the polls, in the story Miles is 12, so I suppose that might be a bit young.

Anyway, we'll see.
