NOVEL NEXT Chapter 31: Rage
"Kill." Spider-Man growled.
Human Torch was unable to react as the four Lance pierced I'm in the shoulder and the thigh.
"Ahhhh-ack!" Spider-Man removed the lances and pulled his hand back breaking the cuffs in the process. Delivering a devastating hook to his face, Spider-Man kicked him in the stomach sending him up to the sky before four web lines shot from the tip of his lances and cocooned him restraining him. Spider-Man grabbed the web line tightly and swung hard downwards as he slammed Human Torch into the hard asphalt.
"Johnny! Why you-" Reed who saw this happen in a span of a moment managed to shake himself out of the shock as he prepared to fight Spider-Man. He stopped mid-sentence as Spider-Man's head snapped in his direction.
Reed felt the sickly scent of blood and death fill the air as he began to feel miserable. Spider-Man lances and stingers gleamed in the darkness as he looked at Richards with a look of pure rage.
"You..." Spider-Man hissed out as he began to walk towards him as Reed backed a bit. Spider-Man was forced to turn his attention as the Lizard slammed Wolverine into Wade and ran in his direction. "I'm gonna kill you!"
Spider-Man raised his left hand and blocked the incoming fist before he utilized his Lance and pierced it through his feet, pinning it to the ground.
The Lizard roared but Spider-Man was brutal as two more Lance stabbed him in the gut and one slashed him in the face tearing a good chunk out of it.
"Shit! Shit! This isn't how it was supposed to go!" Reed cursed to himself as he turned to leave. "I need to get my mutant suppressors! I need to leave-"
Reed felt his blood turn cold as he stopped dead in his track. He felt his body being swept off his feet as he was pulled back.
"Where do you think you are going?" Spider-Man growled as he turned towards Reed tossing the bleeding Lizard away into a wall and restraining him with weakening poison-laced webs. The Lizard began convulsing as he began to revert back to his human form. He jerked the Lance and pulled Reed towards him as lacing his stingers with Bio-Electricity. "Get back here you bastard!"
"Shit-" Reed managed to avoid being stabbed by the stingers using his elastic body to move his torso out of the face but he couldn't brace himself in time as two lances slashed across his face. "Ahhhhhhh!"
Reed dropped to the ground clutching his bleeding face in pain. Blood dripped from Spider-Man's lances as he lifted his legs and stomped on his chest using his Bio-Electricity.
Reed coughed out blood as felt his body weaken. His lances had caused two slant cuts across his face. One had managed to damage his right eye and another and made a nasty cut on his nose almost cutting it in half.
"Why did you do this to her?!" Spider-Man yelled as stabbed towards his neck. The stinger almost pierced through his neck but Wolverine jumped in just in time to block the attack before Spider-Man killed him.
"I know what you are feeling... But you need to stop before you do something you'll regret-"
"Out of my way!" Spider-Man knocked Logan back with his Lance before grabbing him by the neck and throwing him into a car. "I won't regret getting the world rid of your filth Richards! I'm going to enjoy this."
"Stop-" Wolverine jumped once again but the lanced turned and webbed him to the ground and cocooned him.
"Y-You think you'll get away with this-"
"I don't give a shit!" Spider-Man grabbed Reed by the legs as he tried to escape and slammed him into the ground.
"Fuck! This is enough-" Reed spat out blood as Spider-Man punched him across the street and into the wall.
"Aaaahhh." Spider-Man jumped as he dropped kick Reed through walls. He growled as Reed wrapped his hands around his fist but he twisted on his legs and pulled his hand back showing his superior strength as he punched him in the face with his fist laced with Bio-Electricity. Normally blunt trauma or even bullets don't work on Reed but because Spider-Man was using Electricity he was overloading the neurons which were causing his motor functions to malfunction briefly and shut down his Plasticity making him vulnerable to damage. Grabbing his head he headbutted him in the nose disfiguring his face even further. Looking at the barely conscious Reed Spider-Man growled as his heart burnt in rage. "I will ruin your fucking life!"
Spider-Man fingers extended into Talons as he buried them into Reed's chest injecting him with poison before zapping him once again. Grabbing his head he tossed him out of the rubble and onto the street as the crowd of people distanced themselves from the murderous looking Spider-Man.
"I... I'm sorry! I'm sorry-Ahhh!" Reed felt something was wrong as he tried to access his powers but was unable to do so. He tried to scurry backwards but Spider-Man stepped on his left leg breaking it. "Ahhhhh!"
"You don't get to be sorry!" Spider-Man said as he used his lances and pierced Reed in the arms and legs as he lifted him up to his face.
"No, no, no!"
"Spider-Man! Stop it! He's not worth it!" Spider-Man heard Harvey yell but he wasn't listening. The crowd of onlookers was increasing by the size.
"Reed-Oh my god!" Susan gasped as she squeezed out of the crowd.
"Let him go Spider-Man!" Ben yelled as he tried to rush but Wade pointed a gun at his head and made a death sign.
"This isn't about you, crater face." Wade quipped as Ben took a step forward. "Take a step forward I dare you, these Adamantium bullets can blow up Logan's brains over there. Wanna know what it can do to you?"
"Spider-Man! She's alive!" Daredevil said as Spider-Man stopped just as he was about to kill Richards.
"What?" Spider-Man whispered out unable to believe his ears.
"She's alive! Her heart had stopped momentarily but I managed to get it pumping again using chest compression-"
Spider-Man looked at the miserable Reed and growled.
"S-She's still alive you can-ack!" Spider-Man retracted his lances and stingers as he kicked Reed away from him.
"Filthy trash." Spider-Man growled as Harvey sighed in relief before he gestured his men to arrest Reed and another team to escort the depowered Lizard.
Spider-Man rushed towards Yuri and crouched beside her. Lifting her shirt he examined the four deep stab wounds that were bleeding profusely. He weaved a web and tightly wrapped it around her wounds before lifting her up.
"Running Analysis, condition critical. She has lost a lot of blood. We need to hurry."
"Spider-Man I-"
"Thank you..." Spider-Man whispered to Daredevil in utmost gratitude as he lifted Yuri and began walking away.
"Spider-Man..." He turned his head as he saw Susan look at him with mixed emotions. Turning his head back ahead he latched a web to the building and swung away.
"Peter, are we just going to let Richards be?!" Eryl asked getting worked up as Spider-Man just grimaced to himself.
"No." Spider-Man growled to himself. "Death is an easy escape for him. He needs to suffer! I'll make sure of it."
"What are you planning?" Eryl asked.
"Stripping his reputation, turning him into a fumbling outcast, driving him into a corner! Make him regret crossing my path! He'll wish he was dead!" Spider-Man clenched his teeth. "I already stripped him of his powers with my poison, now that poison is going to turn him insane. He'll have no other choice. Nowhere to go, no one to turn to. I'll make sure of it."
"Good." Eryl replied. "Are we going to Baxter's?"
"No. We are going home."
"But Peter-"
"Speed up the process, I want you and Juno in the mainframe, boot the lab up. We can't rely on Baxters for now." Spider-Man commanded. "I want Connors formula on the front along with the super serum. Going to perform small surgery on Yuri, disinfect the wound, stabilize her condition. Once she is stable I'll personally finish up Connors formula to heal her."
"I see." Eryl replied. "What is the super serum for? Will be-"
"I... I need more time to think about that." Spider-Man said as he landed in front of his house and knocked on the door. "Right now, we have to focus on Yuri."
"Wait for a minute-Oh my god! Peter?! What happened-" Spider-Man rushed past May and towards the basement.
"Quick! Come downstairs! I can't explain anything right now." The basement door opened automatically as he descended downstairs. The basement lit up revealing a barely finished science lab with state-of-the-art equipment that Spider-Man had acquired during some of his night walks.
Peter set Yuri down removing his mask and tossed it aside before grabbing his top and doing the same. He washed his hands and downed a medical drape and hair and face mask. Grabbing the medical scissors, gauses and tapes.
"Eryl, run real-time analysis on her condition."
"Just a second... Done. Proceed"
"Alright, Yuri you are going to be alright. I'm not letting go of you." Peter said with determination as he began the procedure.
Peter felt he had learnt nothing from Bart's death. He had failed Bart. This was a much-needed slap to the face that Peter needed to anchor himself. He fucked around too much and this situation came to bite him in the ass.
If Peter really wanted to protect his women he needed to reflect on his actions very carefully.
(A/N: This is the character development I wanted to go with since I rarely see this in any fanfic nowadays. Fanfic these days are just manufactured wish fulfilment where the author generally does not want to deal with any kind of consequences of the character's action, which isn't bad but I feel empty reading it. I don't know about anyone else I'm happy with myself, that my character will be able to learn and grow.)

"Mmm..." Yuri stirred as her eyes fluttered open. Opening her eyes she stared at the unfamiliar metallic ceiling for a few moments before they widened as she finally registered the unfamiliar environment. "W-Where am I? What the-"
Looking down she found her hands strapped to the stretcher. Her heartbeat quickened up as her thoughts began to run miles an hour. She struggled against the restraint as she felt them strain.
"Whoa-Whoa!" A beautiful blond hair woman popped into her field of vision as she gently pushed her back. Yuri's eyes widened as she looked at the woman with a shocked stare.
"Gwen?!"
"Good... Um... Good evening, Ms Watanabe." Gwen said taking a look at her clock as she straightened her glasses. "Eryl, run scans of Ms Watanabe here and submit the last report to the parent folder. I'm sure Peter would appreciate that."
"Scan complete. Vitals are functioning normally. Heartbeat a bit high in the scale due to excitement, nothing to worry about." Eryl summed up the scan. "She's good to go."
"Thank god! I can finally take some much-needed rest after these past two hectic days." Gwen sighed to herself as opened Yuri's restrains.
"Gwen... W-What's happening? Where am I? How-"
"Calm down, okay? I'll explain it to you slowly. I know we have known each other well but let me formally introduce myself for the sake of this." Gwen smiled sheepishly. "I am Gwen Stacy, daughter of Captain Stacy, your long time colleague and boss, girlfriend of Peter Parker, the man who brought you here and healed you... Along with giving you some upgrades."
Gwen said as Yuri's eyes widened as she easily recognised the name. Gwen nodded to her right and her eyes widened further as her eye landed on the passed out figure of Peter Parker, sleeping shirtless with his head on the workstation but what surprised her the most was the Spider-Man, suit top that was draped over a chair.
"Oh! I forgot the most important piece of information..."
Her eyes stared at the Spider crest as she processed everything.
"He is also the Spider-Man."

So, another chapter. Today is my birthday so think of it as a weird gift I'm giving it to you as I turn 20 years old...
I don't know if that even makes any freaking sense?
Anyways, that's officially the end of another arc that I tried my best to flesh it out. Now, this is far from perfect and I know this since I built the plot from scratch and I'm still learning as I write every word. My goal is to give you all a good experience, to escape all the hell and hassle of the day and just kick back and enjoy.
Let me know if there is any way I can improve my writing, I'm always open to constructive criticism but remember try to dump unnecessary shit on me, I'll put you in the trash.
We have crossed 30 chapters and it's an incredible feeling for me as an author to have come this far with my piece of tale. I'm really thankful to everyone who has supported me and my story. I'm working on a lot of big adventures that we can go to together so please look forward to it.
Anyways, I'll see you in the next one.
