Chapter 5: Scorpion
Ten years ago:
A five year old peter was running around the shield base as happy as he could be. His mother and Clint walked behind and clint then proceed to speak."I don't think, it was a good idea to bring Peter here,Nat". Natasha looked at her partner and then spoke."I didn't have a choice, i couldn't find a babysitter and besides Fury won't mind watching him for me". She then look over to see Peter about to grab a blaster from the wall."Peter, honey don't touch that". The five year old looked at his mother and then placed his arms by his side and spoke."Sorry mommy. I wanna be a spy like you and uncle Clint". Natasha couldn't help but smile at her son's response was adorable, causing Clint to chuckle. The archer then proceed to speak."You're a highly trained assassin who can withstand an interrogation, but crack up when your son does something cute.By the way,he's about to do something".Natasha looked over to see peter about to grab a weapon that resembled a scorpion tail. Natasha walked over to her son and picked him up. The two agents and child then proceed to walk away as peter kept looking at the weapon.
Present day...
Peter had enjoyed the past three weeks wearing his suit.He had enjoyed playing hero and even took some pictures and sent them to the news paper company the daily bugle and got paid it, but the president of the company J. Jonah Jameson talked badly about Peter and would usually call him a menace when he did something as Spider-man. This of course did not bother peter as he was proud of what he has accomplished so far. He has managed to stop burglaries,children from getting hit by cars when they wander into the streets, and car hijackings. He was currently sitting on top of building drinking a can of pepsi as he felt his phone buzz in his pocket.Peter took out his phone and checked the caller ID to see that it was his mother. He than proceed to answer the call."Hey mom".
Natasha was currently on a mission with Clint in order to find some stolen tech from shield, but would call in to check how Peter was doing. Natasha responded back to him."Hey kiddo,how's patrol going?". Peter smiled as he responded to his mother's question."Pretty good so far.I helped a kid get his cat out of a tree, it tried to bite me,but i got it down.I also stopped a shoplifter and the store manager gave me a free soda, so pretty good so far.I also reported to the same thing to Mr.Stark and Uncle Steve. Oh,yeah did you find the missing weapon yet?".Natasha then answered her son's question."Nope not yet, but it appears that the weapon was transferred to someone in new york, so me and clint will be back first thing in the morning,gotta go sweetheart,love you,bye"."Bye mom" Peter then hanged the phone up and pulled down his mask as he fired off a web and swung off the building.
Meanwhile in an abandoned warehouse located in the loading docks of new york,stood two men one in a lab coat and the other in a green suit,who were pulling apart a wooden crate. After they had finished pulling apart the crate, they pulled out a scorpion tail shaped weapon. The man in a green suit then spoke."Man,this took forever to get here,but worth it with the amount of cash that Jameson is giving us just to unmask this spider man.Dr.stillwell,how did your men even steal this from shield?Isn't very secure". The man known as stillwell answered the question as he had a smirk on his face."Simple Mr.Gargan, i equipped my men with the essential technology for bypassing security systems,but of course they only had a limited amount of time. Now Mr.Gargan, let's begin the scorpion experiment". The man in green smiled and then spoke."Please, call me Mac". The two men then grabbed the weapon and walked over to a table with green armor on it.
The next day, Peter had spent an hour trying to fix the toaster. He had accidentally broke it when testing out the different web shooter combinations that Tony had built into the suit and he of course shot out a electrified web that hit the toaster instantly shortcutting it.Peter had an annoyed look on his face as he proceed to speak angrily and annoyed with sarcasm in his voice."This is the best way to spend my sunday. I could have gone with Harry to see that wrestling match,but no i rather stay here and fix this hunk of junk!.Screw this!". Peter then proceed to slam the toaster into the counter causing it to break even more. Peter then gained a terrified look as he heard the front door open. He quickly hid the toaster behind a cookie jar and acted very casual as his mother and Clint entered the kitchen. The two agents gave the teen a suspicious look as if he was trying to hide something from them.
Natasha looked at her son and then spoke to him."Hi Peter,what are you doing?". Peter gave a quick a quick glance at the toaster and then answered his mother's question."Nothing. I'm actually about to head out on patrol and i have go meet Mr.Stark to talk about the suit functions". The teen then grabbed his backpack and slung it over his shoulder."Bye mom, bye uncle clint,i"ll be back in time for dinner". And with that the teen ran out the door. Clint then walked over to the cookie jar and pushed it aside to the broken toaster."He broke the toaster, now how does it feel to raise a kid with spider strength,Nat?.Cute right?".He then laughed as Natasha gained a angry look as she was about to ground Peter once he had gotten home.
Back at the warehouse Mac had placed the green armor on his body as Dr.Stillwell was equipping him with the final piece. The scorpion tail. Mac gained a sly smile as he grabbed the helmet and placed it on as the eyes glowed a ominous yellow orange.Dr.Stillwell looked at his greatest invention ever as he then spoke to mac."Now, Mac remember not to overwork the armor. If you do the stress will damage your mental stability". Mac looked at the doctor. His eyes started to glow."Spider-man better watch out. The scorpion has arrived to take him down!". Mac then smashed the door as he leaped out of the warehouse.
Peter was currently in avenger's tower with Tony, as the two were looking at the design and layout of the suit that he was currently wearing. Peter looked at the design structure with amazement as Tony then spoke to him with his usual snarkiness in his voice."So what do you think kid?. I know amazing right. It was designed by one of the, no the smartest billionaire in the world.Me". Peter looked at the different functions of the suit which included web wings,a spider drone,576 different web shooter combinations,a signal light,stealth mode,a parachute,and a function that would let him hear conversations from afar.Peter looked at Tony with amazement before speaking to him."This is so awesome, Mr.Stark.Is their any more functions to the suit?,It's amazing as it is, but i just want to make sure i know how it functions". Tony looked at the teen and then answered the question."Of course.F.R.I.D.A.Y. is linked to your suit, so if you ever need help, she's there for you so you contact any of the avengers, and one more thing the suit is currently on train....".
Tony was interrupted by a loud crash outside. He then summoned his armor as he rushed to see the commotion. Peter quickly followed as he put his mask on and swung off the balcony on the tower. The two heroes then saw man with a scorpion armor and tail destroying cars and attacking civilians."What's with the arachnid theme,i thought i was the only one doing that.Guess some people can't come up with their own ideas" Peter had said after he had seen the man.The man then looked at Spider-man and Iron man and laughed."Well this is a surprise" the man proceeded to walk towards them as peter felt his spider sense as he called it go off."I was supposed to bring out the spider, but to have tony stark here as well should get me more cash". The man then shot his tail toward the two as Peter quickly dodged it by jumping to the side of a building,while Tony endured the hit. Tony then grabbed the tail as the armored man proceed to attack with accuracy causing tony to lose his grip. The man then brought up his hand with a gauntlet strapped to it as he fired acid towards Tony. Peter quickly shot out a web to pull Tony to the side as the acid hit a damaged car dissolving it instantly.Peter looked at the man and spoke."You know it's not very nice to throw acid. What are you supposed to be anyway? Some kind of iron man knock off that has a weird thing for scorpions and acid?". The man then pointed his gauntlet at Peter."I am the scorpion!.My job is to unmask you by any means necessary!. Even if people have to die!". He then fired off another shot of acid and peter dodged out of the way as it hit the wall.
Peter looked at Tony who quickly fired a repulsor blast at Scorpion."Mr.Stark,how do we beat him? I mean look at him his tail is the missing piece of shield tech,plus he can shoot acid".Tony looked at the teen hero and then spoke."I know kid.His tail has the strength of a wrecking ball,but we might have a chance if you switch to taser web mode it might be enough to temporarily paralyze him". Suddenly Scorpion gave out a shout of pain, causing the two heroes to look at him as he held his head."What the hell is wrong with him. F.R.I.D.A.Y. scan his armor now" Tony had said as he had not expected Scorpion to act this way in battle."On it Boss". Scorpion then proceed to run towards the two heros and managed to hit Peter with the full strength of his tail sending the teen hurdling into a parked car,while Tony fired another repulsor blast at scorpion."Okay, ow!" Peter looked up at Scorpion as he marched forward ready to strike again"Okay, if you want unmask me, you better think again.Activate stealth mode!". Peter began to camouflage into the damage causing Scorpion to strike the car that Peter had already moved from.
Peter then swiftly grabbed Scorpion's tail and pulled it as hard as he could causing Scorpion to be flung into a car."Nice job,kid" Tony had said as he fired a unibeam at Scorpion who started to act feral."Thanks, now Activate taser webs!". Peter then reappeared as he shot out an electrified web that causes Scorpion to scream in pain. Scorpion then fell to the ground as he started to ramble random words."Money....Unmask....Kill...Spider...man". Peter and Tony then proceed to walk towards to Scorpion as police sirens were heard. Tony looked at peter as he took Scorpion's tail off. He then spoke to the teen."Kid, go back home and get some rest,i'll this back to sheild". Peter nodded as he shot out a web and started to swing home. He slowly thought to himself "This isn't as easy as i thought it would be...". Unbeknown to him a figure stood on a building looking at him with great interest.
