5 Host and Parasite

"This is the news of New York city. Ultron has been attacking the city for two days now and he does not seems to be slowing down. Our only hope is Spider man" The news reporter said to the locals as Spider man saved her from a debris that was thrown at her "Watch out!" He shouted swinging the debris back at Ultron hitting him. Peter Parker has became Spider man for six mouths now, but it is not easy for him, J. Jonah Jameson has been calling him a 'maniac' every time he reports any news about crime scenes that is happening in the city. He always blamed Spider man for every crime that had happened even when Spider man saved his lives, not once, but three times! But Jameson didn't care, he just want to reprehen him, waiting for the time that Spider man show his evil side and capture him. But Peter didn't care either, all he wanted to do is help people. "Woah, watch out there Ultron, you're going to hit a little kid!" Peter said holding a big piece of debris up from hitting a girl "Ya OK?" He asked her and she nodded "Go, I'll have to drop this now, it's very heavy" With that, she ran to her mother. "I THINK YOU LOST THIS" Peter said throwing the debris back at Ultron which he simply blast it with ease. "You cannot defeat me Spider man" Ultron said his robotic voice echoed like they were in a cave. "I'll conquer this world then I'll move on to the universe then the Multi-verse then.." Peter uses that time of Ultron's talk show to web his face up then he punches him throwing Ultron into a building, Ultron's body hits the support pillar of the building making it collapse then followed by the hole building, Ultron is defeated. "Woo! Spidey go! Spidey go!" The New Yorkers cheered. Peter was breathing very heavily but he still held up his right hand cheering with the civillains. Peter sure is having a good day, or is he?

Peter is now running in the hall of of Midtown High he just finished changing his outfit "I'm late *wheeze* I'm so late *wheeze*" Peter ran into the class room just as the class started "Right on time Mr. Parker" Peter's science teacher said "But still, why waited till this time?"

"I'm sorry Mr. Connors" Peter said while walking to his seat which is unfortunately next to Flash Thompson. Peter rolled his eyes slightly so that Flash cannot see and sit down, Peter looked to his right and he sees Harry and MJ are sitting next to each other which is kinda weird because the three always sit together but Peter gets over it and focus on studying. The whole lesson was terrible, Flash always asked him every question that Connors just explain but since Peter cannot refuse to explain, he has to and everytime he tries, Flash is not listening and he even have to explain what certain words means which makes Peter unable to finish his work by the time the class ended. "What have you been doing Mr. Parker? I thought you were the best at science" Connors asked looking at his book with nothing written on it, then he looked at Flash "What have you two been doing during my class huh? Sleeping?"

The two didn't respond but Peter's head is saying 'If I can expose my spider powers I'm going to punch Flash in the face'

"Nevermind, you two go to the detection room"

"What!?" Peter said then he looked at his shoes suddenly interested in it "OK" Peter said walking out with Flash following behind him.

Peter is now finishing his science work in the detention room while Flash is now beaming at him like he is going to tear him apart "Finish" Peter muttered to himself slamming his pencil on the table. "Give it to me" Flash said trying to grab Peter's book but he pull it away from him "Do it yourself I already explain everything in that class room, which is the reason why I'm not finish with my own work in the first place"

"Oh you're blaming me now? You chose to sit next to me" Flash said

"But there is only one seat in there!"

"So why are you late then? Duh!"

"QUIET!" The teacher sitting at the right corner at the front off the room said, then she went back to reading her magazine. Flash glare at Peter "I said give it to me" Flash hissed and Peter shakes his head "No!" He hissed back. Flash glance at the teacher who is now desided to take a nap then he look back at Peter smirking "No teacher" then he stands up. "Oh snap" Peter thought, his spider-sense tingles for no reason, as Flash got closer to him.

"Ouch!" Peter said as he slam against the floor he cannot shout out loud because the teacher will wake up and that wouldn't be good. Flash took Peter's book and quickly copied down the answer onto his own book "Ah, done, see? That's easy" Flash said sitting back on his chair, Peter slowly get up and sit on his glancing at the once sleeping teacher because she is now awake. She take a peak at the watch at the front of the class room then she tells us to go. He went to the canteen to get something to eat, he went to sat down next to Harry and MJ "Hi, how's your detention?" Harry asked. Peter shakes his head "Don't even wanna talk about it"

MJ laughs "Of course, it's Flash isn't it?" she asked and Peter nodded "Yeah, it's always Flash Thompson"

"Oh yeah, do you know who your partner is yet?" Harry asked grinning. Peter frowned "What partner?"

"The science partner, Mr. Connors wanted as to study about the structure of any animal exists" Mary explained making Peter blinked

"So, who's your partner?" Peter asked and MJ pointed to Harry, Harry rolled his eyes "Of course, Dr. Connors said that your partner is going to be the one sitting next to you" Harry said. Peter face palm "Oh c'mon!" Peter said making Harry and MJ laughs "Well good luck buddy!" Harry said and the two walks out off the canteen. Then Peter felt something cold touching his shoulder which makes him flinched he turn around to see Flash smiling at him "Hey! Buddy! Wanna do the research at my home? It will be good!"

"I prefer my own home"

"Oh c'mon! Don't have to be polite! Let's go after school"

Peter tries to ditch it after school because the last time Peter went to Flash's house, it wasn't a very good time at all, his house was cool, it's kinda like his aunt and uncle's house but his parents... Ugh not so good. They're alway shouting and saying bad things which Flash seems to try to ignore them, and his parents did not even care of him but everytime Peter went into that house, his parents always seem to like him, care for him in front of Flash which Peter can see that Flash has been hiding his sadness and anger but showing it off so strongly through his bullying, Peter don't want Flash to feel like he's being ignored. But of course Flash caught him my the shoulder. "Where are you going? I thought we have to go do our homework!" Flash said

"Oh! Silly me! I forgot OK let's go" Peter said with displeasure but he didn't show it off, so they started walking.

They're about half way to Flash's home but suddenly, a meteor fell from the sky "Woah, cool" Flash said but Peter frowned "That's not normal" He said and Flash looked at him "What do you mean by not normal?" he asked

"Nevermind"

"Wait, let's go check it out"

"Flash, no" but Flash ran off so Peter has to follow.

They've arrived at a grass field where the meteorite is now steaming in a hole on the field. Peter's spider-sense tingles as Peter got closer to it "Don't go near it"

"What? It's just a meteorite, don't tell me you're also scared of space rocks" Flash teased as he got closer to the rock, then Peter saw something moving in a crack of the meteorite "What's that?" Peter asked

"What's what?" Flash turned around, just that, the thing that was moving in the crack burst out and sticks on Flash "What is this black goo thing!" Flash shouted trying to shake it off but it is stuck to his arm, and it seems to grew larger slowly covering Flash. "Oh my goodness" Peter said trying to pull off the goo but it just wouldn't come off, even with his spider strength, then he heard something calling for him "I need a HOST" the voice said. Peter looked around him but he sees nothing, so he just continues trying to help Flash but seeing that even how hard they tried to pull it off, it wouldn't work. "Let's go to my house now instead of urs" Peter said dragging Flash along the grass "Yeah dude I agree on that AHHHH" Flash screamed in pain then he fainted, unconscious. So it's the time, a good time, that Peter uses his spider powers to quickly get Flash to his house. "Hang on there Flash" Peter muttered as he swings to his house.

Peter puts Flash on his bed as his dad came in the room with medical equipments. Richard nodded and quickly checking his conditions.

Peter waited outside for about an hour when his dad came out. Seeing his dad's worried face, Peter quickly ran up to him "What happen to him dad?" He asked

"It's my fault" Richard simply responded making Peter confused "What do you mean?"

Richard signed and he started explaining. "Before you were born and before I started experimenting on Julius and Argog the spider, I desided to make my own spider by using an female egg cell that is completely genetically changed to what shape and design I wanted the offspring to be and also, I used a sperm that is also genetically changed to produce a spider that is fast, have good eye sights and can spin strong webs." He paused to catch his breath and continue on. "But it failed, I created a goo, a black goo, it's like a parasite, it needs a host, but if the host is not suitable for the goo, it kills the host off, I once test it using many animals but all died because of the goo, which I desided calling it a Symbiote." He paused again and continue on "So I sended it to space, so that it couldn't kill anyone again, but it seems to adapt and evolve over the years and became very powerful."

"Will Flash survive?" Peter asked, Richard's face went blank "Yes, yes he will, it seems like the symbiote has bonded with him perfectly like it wanted to bond with him"

"I can hear it" Peter said which makes Richard flinch. Seeing his dad's surprised face, Peter started explaining what happen on the grass field. With that, Richard simply nodded "Of course, I used a spider sperm and egg so the Symbiote kinda count as one of the arachnid family now" Richard said. Then Peter heard a groan "Flash?" Peter opened the door and he sees Flash waving at him "Hi, comfy bed you got" Peter laughs "Yeah, how are you feeling?"

"Fine, I guess but what happen? Where is that black goo thing?" Flash asked and Peter explains everything to Flash. "Oh, my, God" Flash said looking at his hands "Does that mean that I'm like Spider man?" Flash asked and Peter frowned "Wait what?"

Flash force the Symbiote to cover him making a black spider man suit. "From now on, I'll be called, Er.. BLACK SPIDER!" Peter shakes his head slightly "No? How about, BLACK ARACHNID" Peter sign "Let me try hm.." He thought about it for a second then he snaps his fingers "How about Venom?" Flash pauses for a moment then he smiles "Yeah! Agent Venom! How's that?" Peter shrugs "Up to you dude, but it does sound cool"

"Oh tomorrow I'm going to go see Spider man!" Flash said "What? Im his biggest fan!"

Peter don't believe his ears, Flash Thompson likes Spider man? Wow. "OK, but you'll have to stay here because I still have a lot to test on you" Richard came in the room grinning at the boys, Flash looked at Richard and Peter back and forth "R-really? You'll let me stay?" He asked and Richard nodded "Of course! This house only have me, my son, three butlers and three housekeepers, its good to have someone to talk too" Richard looked at Peter "And you gonna have to share this bedroom with him Pete" Peter's room is nothing, what do you think a science nerd have in his room? Yeah, that's what it looks like. "Yeah, yeah, sharing is caring" Peter muttered. "Well, me and Peter will get your stuff and we'll be back OK?" Richard said and Flash nodded. Richard walked out of the room followed by Peter but he desided to turn around "If I come back and my room is not like it suppose to be. I'm going to kick you out of my house and let you sleep out side, deal?" Peter said and Flash nodded smiling "OK, OK fine deal" with that Peter walked out off the room. Leaving, Flash in Peter's bedroom. "This is going to change my life forever" Flash said looking at his suit proudly.
