Chapter 43: Issue 43: Trials of Merlin Part XIV
I heard about your time back in Older-Peter's universe. I was proud to have a brother who managed to turn his life around and do some good. You, however, are you the same man that my daughter called uncle?" Peter spoke harshly.
He hopped down next to him and grabbed his brother's suit by its collar, "What your wearing is a symbol of responsibility, Ben passed it on to in hopes that you would become a hero,"
Peter tightened his grip when Kaine moved his hand to try and remove it, "Look kid, I don't expect you to...What the?" Kaine tried to move his wrist, "Odd, I thought I was the stronger one?"
Peter noticed his surprise as he dragged the Scarlet Spider along, swinging across the city with ease. He took his Renew Your Vows clone-counterpart and patrolled around the Queens until he found someone dumb enough to still commit a crime in his city.
He found a thuggish woman mugging a man at gunpoint. Peter had already activated his magnetic power to control the gun and ensure the man's safety, but he wasn't about to let the clone know this.
Peter then turned to Kaine and said, "Well, looks like that guy is going to get hurt."
The Scarlet-Spider shook his head and got ready to move when Peter stopped him and asked, "What are you doing?"
Kaine frowned and replied, "Saving them, obviously."
"Why?" Peter asked.
"Because..." Kaine was stumped, "What do you mean? Are you planning on just letting this happen?"
"It's not your responsibility, so why are you going to help?" Peter asked in a dark tone.
Kaine started to grow irritated when the man called for help, he looked at Peter in frustration and said, "Let go!"
"WHY?" Peter shouted.
"Because I can!" Kaine felt Peter let go of his arm as he leapt down and webbed the armed woman to the wall.
Peter smiled as he followed after, snatching the gun from the robber's hand, and used his Ferrokinesis to crush the weapon into a solid smooth sphere.
Kaine was surprised to say the least as he saw Peter actions.
"Okay, my Spider-Man can't do that," Kaine said as the man thanked them both before leaving, MJ walked up next to Peter, "You went kind of Dark there, Spider-Man."
He laughed before saying, "Yeah, it looked that way at least, maybe I have a talent for acting." Peter then turned to Kaine, and followed up, "Because you can, huh? Well, it's not what I was expecting, but at least the answer came from your true self."
"You?" Kaine pointed his finger at Peter and couldn't think of what to say when his little webbed to a nearby building.
"Stay out of trouble, big brother, and as I said before, I have a way for you to go back to your Universe. If you want to leave, just give me a call. You're welcome to live here too if that's what you want, but if you wear that suit, you have to be wearing it for the right reasons."
Peter tossed him their number carved into the metal sphere he made before he and MJ webbed off, leaving Kaine completely dumbfounded.
"He really is different, but still the same old Peter I know. Why does he have to care about a clone like me, and even call me a brother?" Kaine webbed off and landed on a nearby high rise, "Honor the costume, huh?"
Kaine sighed as he thought of Ben, and how he died, "I'm tired. Ben, what would you do?"
"Hey Scarlet Spider, who's Ben?" A familiar voice called out, as Kaine turned around to see Felicia using her claws to pinch on to the side of the building.
Kaine shook his head and said, "He was my brother, and he never gave up on me. I wasn't always, well… heck, I was never really a good guy, but Ben, my brother saved me. I was going down a dark path I couldn't return from, but he gave his life for me, the failure. I've tried to do some good, but it never works out."
Felicia replied, "I thought it was pretty cool how you saved that guy back there."
Kaine webbed over to another building and sighed as he saw Felicia swinging over beside him.
"Hey, do you need a place to stay?" Felicia asked.
"You willing to put up with me?" Kaine landed on a building top and said, "I'm a monster though."
"What does that mean?" Felicia asked.
Kaine tried his best to explain how he could morph into a Spider-Creature known as the Other when he gives in to his instincts, Felicia scratched her head, "So it's like a self-defense mechanism? Can you control it?"
"Kind of, it's like walking on a wire, any second I could lose it and give into the Spider, but as long as I keep the balance I can stay in control," Kaine explained.
"Cool!" Felicia said with a smile, making Kaine stumble.
"What?" he replied with a look of disbelief.
Felicia laughed and said, "It's not like you lose completely it in that form, and you can even control it, so why aren't you happy about having an ability that makes you stronger? That's all it is, and ability, right? At least you're not like the Hulk who goes apeshit on everything around him the moment he has a bad day."
Kaine grinned and replied, "I'm not so sure! But if you're willing to put up with me knowing what you're getting into, then what happens next is all on you. Just don't say I didn't warn you, Cat."
Felicia smiled and grappled over to a ledge and began swinging, "Follow me!"
They made their way across the city until they stopped at an old decommissioned subway tunnel. The duo continued ongoing deeper inside the tunnel when Kaine said, "You live here?"
"It's nicer than you think," Black Cat grinned.
They reached a room that Felicia family spent a fortune on making self-sufficient and luxurious base. There was a bar, decent lighting, furniture, three rooms, and even a pool table.
"This used to be the Thief's Guild's base, but since Dad was forced to disband the group, I was left to pick up the pieces."
Felicia sat on an expensive couch and crossed her legs, "The Thief's Guild used to be a bit like Robin Hood, steal from the corrupt and rich, keep a little for yourself, and give the rest to the poor. The main goal is to support victims of those who abuse or outright dodge the law and steal from the innocent."
"Sounds fun, but should you really be bringing me here?" Kaine asked.
"Looks like someone's getting ahead of themselves," Felicia moved closer to him and placed her finger on his chest, "We just met after all,"
She turned around while trying to tempt Kaine by swaying her hips. She made her way to the door and peaked back as she said, "This isn't our main base. We have a few extra hideouts, this is just one of them, and I'll be staying across from you in the west wing."
Felicia walked out of the room and said, "There's food and drink in the kitchen, you can have the hard liquor, don't touch the wine, that's mine."
Kaine laughed as he collapsed into the sofa, he started to make himself at home when he turned on the T.V and saw the news.
Spider-Man and Spider-Woman were fighting against the Vulture and his gang. He watched them easily taking care of the villains when he looked at his restless fingers tapping on the couch and stood up.
"So much for taking it easy." The Spider-Hero put on his mask and ran out to start a night of patrol.
"I wonder what Peter would think if he saw me now." Kaine webbed off into the city and decided to give it one more try to be a hero.
Peter and MJ made quick work of the Vulture and his gang, so when they finished webbing them up and leaving them to the police, Peter and MJ webbed off to finish up their Patrol. After gaining some distance the two ducked into an alleyway and returned to their civilian clothing. Since they were still using Doctor Strange's spell to hide their whereabouts, they decided to use their Symbiotes to shapeshift into an older version of themselves. They also changed the color of their hair,
Peter chose to try out being a blond with a beard, and MJ turned her hair into a pitch black color and added a few wrinkles that didn't take away from her beauty.
The two held each other's hands and walked down the streets of Harlem, as they passed a Hotel, MJ stopped Peter and stared at him before she said, "You know…We couldn't get a whole lot of privacy in the Sanctum."
Peter grinned as he picked her up and put her over his shoulders, MJ laughed as he carried her inside he rented a room and carried her up five flights of stairs, once he reached the room he threw her onto the bed and climbed over her and started kissing.
Peter and MJ's hands were locked together as their tongues intertwined. Peter slowly undressed her as she did the same.
"I'm not going to let you get any sleep tonight, Tiger!" MJ said as she sat on top of him,
Peter smiled and said, "Careful when you temp a Tiger, they're liable to pounce."
He flipped her over and began to massage her breasts, he placed his mouth over her nipple and bit down slightly as he pushed fingers inside her.
MJ moaned as she grabbed Peter's head "Oh wow, Tiger it feels so good."
Once she was wet enough, Peter grinned as he placed his member at her entrance and pushed in as deep as he could go.
MJ let out a loud moan as her legs stretched into the air.
He started to pump away, hitting the entrance to her womb ever time he bottomed out inside her. Their moans grew louder as they let themselves cut loose. The bed was creaking, and the legs started to crack.
MJ held his face as they started to kiss. She then moved down to his neck and bit down giving him a hickey. Peter then got her back by giving her one himself. They picked up their pace while Peter held the back of her neck, nibbling on her neck as he pistoned and rutted faster and faster.
MJ cried out in joy as she bit the bottom of her lip, "Harder, baby! Harder!"
"I'm getting close," Peter said as he flipped her on top.
"Me too, Tiger. I'm…gonna…" MJ started grinding her hips faster until she let out a loud groan of pleasure.
They both climaxed together, but they were far from done, Peter stood up as MJ crossed her legs around his waist as he continued to hit her deepest parts, "You're a beast, Tiger!" MJ moaned.
Peter started walking towards the wall, MJ felt him pleasure her with every step, she bit her lip as she barely made out, "What are you doing?"
"Abusing my power," Peter responded as he placed his foot on the wall suddenly shifting all the gravity to placing MJ on top, MJ moaned as she whispered, "Damn it, Tiger, you made me come without you."
Peter laughed and said, "I've always wondered what it would be like to do this."
He placed her back against the wall as he began to move faster, making MJ shout as they switched positions, Peter placed his back against the wall as MJ furiously ground her hips against his,
Almost an hour had passed before Peter kissed her and said, "I'm getting close."
MJ tightened up as she replied, "Me too." both of them were on the roof over the bed, MJ had her back against the wall while gripping Peter's hand tightly she started quivering,
"I'm.." MJ bit her lip as she felt him release inside her.
The two fell on the bed and laughed, "Maybe it's safer on the ground," Peter said as he kissed her breast while making his way towards her neck.
"We could always try using our webbing," MJ commented as she started moving her hips, her face showing a seductive look that would drive any man wild, and like a ball of wound-up stress exploding, the two spent all night enjoying themselves. The bed had been completely destroyed so they left some extra cash before leaving early in the morning.
"After that workout, I think we need some food, Tiger!" MJ said as her stomach growled.
Peter laughed before he replied, "Let's head back to the Sanctum, I'll cook us some breakfast."
"Banana Pancakes?" MJ licked her lips.
"Hah! You really like them don't you?" Peter asked as he teased.
"The 3 things I like about my boyfriend, number 3: he's a kind-hearted and loving genius, number 2: he's a beast in bed, number 1: those Banana Pancakes are the bomb."
Peter laughed, "So it goes food, sex, then love?"
"No, all of its love," MJ replied with a radiant smile.
As they landed at the Sanctum doors and went inside, they immediately noticed something was off. The very moment they stepped through the door's threshold, their Spider-Sense's went off.
It was like they had stepped into an entirely different realm. Suddenly Doctor Strange's Cloak appeared and wrapped around Peter and MJ, swirling around them as the two looked at each other in confusion.
Since their Spider-Senses were still on full alert, they knew something was up, but still were completely unaware of what was setting it off.
The cloak started pulling on them and began leading them through the Sanctum. As the looked around Peter thought it was odd, "The placement of everything is in reverse."
"Whoa, you're right," MJ said as they walked down the hall, as they were about to turn the corner where Doctor Strange meditation room was when the cloak stopped them.
The Spider-Heroes honed their senses and focused on what was behind the door when they heard someone talking. It was the voice of a woman in her prime, and it seemed to carry a bit of an English accent.
"Tell me Sorcerer Supreme, did you ever think the day would come that you would be imprisoned by your own magic."
