《Sticks and Stones • Spideypool ✓》Chapter 18

Since Wade brought him back Peter has not been the same. He is even more distant than before, not to mention constantly angry with everyone.
Every now and again we see his usual cheery self, but behind his smile are tired weary eyes. No one can talk to him long enough to figure out what is wrong.
I never thought I would ask for this, but I need Wade. I need Wade to talk to him. As much as I hated it, Peter loved him. There is a part of him that will still love him I am sure.
I went over to the table to grab my phone and dialled Wade's number.
"Hello?" A rough voice answered. "It's Tony. I need you to come over."
"What? Why? Is Peter okay?" I sensed a rush of emotion.
"He isn't hurt or anything. He just hasn't been the same since he was kidnapped. I need you to try and get through to him. Please." I didn't mean to sound so desperate, but it sure as hell came across that way. Wade didn't answer. He simply hung up and appeared in front of me a few seconds later.
Wade was dressed in an over-sized t-shirt, which had all manner of stains on it. his face was covered in stubble, and he had huge bags under his eyes. "Wade you look awful. What happened to you." He just shrugged, running a shaky hand through his long unwashed hair.
"Never mind. Go talk to him." I said, sending Wade to Peter's room.
'I hope this works.' I think to myself as I watch the boy enter the room.
"Peter?" I walk in to see Peter pacing the ceiling. He almost fell of when he saw me.

"Wade! You're here!" He said cheerily. I'm not going to lie, that shocked me. He looked so happy. why did his dad say he wasn't himself. this looked like the Peter I fell in love with.
"Shut up. I don't want to talk to you." Okay I retract my previous statement. I cocked my head at Peter's sudden anger and frustration. he was gazing at the wall, his eyes tinged black. Wait that seems familiar. I swear I have watched a movie where that happens...
"So Peter, how have you been." I try to make normal conversation, but the happy Peter seemed to have vanished completely. He simply glared at me, his eyes turning blacker by the second, his lips curling into a wicked smile.
"I warned him I would hurt you. But the foolish boy didn't listen." He said in a strange, unearthly voice, his features twisting inhumanly.
Yeah I didn't like it much. It scared me.
'Hosting for Venom. Yes, yes it does.' This was not what I expected from this visit. Peter grew in stature, his skin turning black and scaly. His face was engulfed in black goo to reveal the hideous face of the parasite harvesting of Peter's energy.
You idiot don't call it a parasite. Do you not remember the film. Honestly its as if you want to get eaten.
"I am going to enjoy this." The monster said, in a raspy voice. Before it could grab me I teleported into the living room. Tony looked at me expectantly, Steve by his side. I clear my throat.
"So, um, your son has been infected by a deadly parasite called Venom. it was probably injected into him when he was kidnapped. also as we speak venom is coming down the hall ready to eat us. so i suggest you grab onto me and we get the hell out of here."

"What?" they say in unison. I roll my eyes and grab the two heroes, taking them as far away from the tower as I could. I then left briefly to collect my suit and katanas from the small apartment i had been 'staying' at. When I returned, Tony had summoned a suit and Steve was pacing back and forth on the rooftop. He stopped and stared at my blades.
"And who will you be using them on?" I try not to wince as he yells down my ear.
"Well you know how everything has its weakness. well this motherfucker's weakness is loud noise." I grate the two blades together, creating a hideous noise. "You see. Also if I were to accidentally stab it, which I would never do by the way, it heals as fast as me. so this is their only purpose really."
Apparently the boxes weren't the only ones who were shocked. Tony and Steve looked at me both impressed and shocked i came up with some sort of plan so quickly. What can I say I am a genius!
(Actually that was all me)
Oh shut up author. My POV so I get the credit.
(Whatever)
"Well its been about five minutes. I'd say Venom has had enough time in the outside world, wouldn't you?" Tony laughed, hovering above the ground. "Tony you go, I will teleport with Steve. Once you have found it make as much noise as possible. We need to disorientate it. I may have to visit an old friend,"
"enemy."
"Shut up. I may need to visit and old friend to get something to ensure Venom is gone for good."
"Okay. Tony we will meet you there. Kid take me to this friend of yours. We are freeing my son."
We separated, Tony heading back to the tower, making sure everyone was out. I grabbed onto Steve and we disappeared off the rooftop.
I hope your plan works Wade.
Me too, White box. Me too.

The Complete Alchemyst book 2
Continuation of the Alchemyst book 1 Sometimes to be the good guy, you gotta be the bad guy. This is a story about Louis, a guy that was just trying to get along before he got kidnapped and forced to play cook by a Cartel. He's no Heisenberg, however. Now that he's out of Prison and put a beat down on some of the folks that put him away, he's facing the real pressures of Life as a single-person superpower: Everyone wants to use him for their own purposes. Along the way he's met a few girls, some good, some bad. He's looking to save the world, establish an evil empire, secure a future for the people he considers his, and maybe finally kill that damned superhero that started it all. This is not 'the boys'. Not all superheroes or supervillains are evil, The 'super' world is expanding to include aliens, magic, and the children of ancient deities and legends. This is NOT a superhero genre deconstruction. Many heroes truly are heroes, and they don't all need to be destroyed to make a good story, but it does look into the dark side of superpowers and the unreasonable and often contradictory demands placed on exceptional people. Please note that this book has extremely graphic and sometimes gross fight scenes, heroes as villains, villains as heroes, opinionated and often politically incorrect characters, some graphic sex scenes, dad jokes, dirty jokes, realistic depictions of romance and flirting, bondage and dominance themes, and more than a few cuss words when they are really appropriate.

Quantum Worlds (A LitRPG dark fantasy)
Find the missing VIP in an illegal game world. Kill the monsters. Return home for the paycheck. Decorated Marine commander, Damon Williams, never thought his latest mission would take place in a full-immersion world fighting monsters… but when a high-value VIP disappears after being stealthily transported to a banned MMORPG, he's their only hope. Damon must lead a group of rescuers into an unforgiving world infested with terrifying monsters and worse. Pain is real. Death is permanent. He and his crew must adapt quickly, trust each other, and fight to survive. And if all that's not bad enough, they'll also have to race against time to avoid the realm’s disintegration and mutation effects. Quantum Worlds features race and class designations, unique creatures, dungeon crawling, level progression and Easter eggs that reference video games and pop culture. This a dark fantasy, but it also has sprinklings of humor throughout. It is a multi-cast, multi-pov story. In many ways, it is a melding of one of my favorite novels, “The Stand”, with my favourite genre, LitRPG. I don’t espouse to be anywhere near Stephen King, but I would like to think that I have succeeded in many areas here (you’ll be the judge of that). So, this thriller-style story has a lot of build-up and lots of drama. When it hits the 100-page mark, it starts to take off with some intense action and fight scenes (although there are battles long before that). Nothing comes easy for this group of rescuers. And the dangers are very real. This saga is already over 100 chapters with more to come. I hope you enjoy it and look forward to your reviews, comments, and feedback. Thanks. Chapters are uploaded every day at noon ET. Please do not repost this work anywhere without my written permission. Quantum Worlds is a participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge.
