He is not a villain or a superhero, especially a superhero, so why is he searching the city for danger to lurk in the night like the original hero? He webbed a spider and flung himself through the tallest buildings in New York for any trouble setting and underneath his mask he found danger. It was coming from a department store with an armed robber coming out with a bag of money with his gun in his other free hand. He smiled wider under his mask, rubbing both his knuckles for the punches to begin.
"That's right, keep your hands up! And don't let me catch you calling the fuzz, asshole!" The robber threatened to hold the bag of stolen cash with his gun pointed at the store worker, just before he could take off with his cash he was grabbed by the face by a hand with claws that dug into his facial skin making muffled groans of pain and confusion, then he was roughly pulled to the top of the store building and flung to the door and hard making him grunt crashing to the building floor and gasped in pain holding his wounded face that was covered in deep long scratches and gasped at his ambusher who wore a red suit with a blue hoodie shirt with a black spider symbol, and a red mask with long brown hair.
"Hiya, you bastard", Scarlet Spider greeted intimidatingly clenching his knuckles tight.
The wounded gunman had his eyes on the gun that was a few feet from him behind the masked vigilante. He scooted backward closer to the door kicking his legs with hands up to the masked vigilante. "Hey, hey, hey, hey, please don't hurt me. Please don't hurt me", he whimpered then screamed in pain when Scarlet Spider grabbed him by the collar of his shirt and held him up ramming him hard to the brick wall.
Shadows loomed on Scarlet's mask. "You know what I hate about people like you?" He sinisterly asked. "Is that you bastards think you can walk all over everyone and take what they need and try to threaten their lives and hear you are acting like you are the victim", he said then rammed the frightened thief hard again on the brick wall with his other hand clenched tight into a fist ready to have blood.
"Please. Please. Please. I didn't want to...help...please"
"Lights out, asshole"
"Don't you think that webbing him is enough for him to keep from escaping instead of acting like Kaine?" A more stern but gentle voice rang from behind him.
Ben groaned and turned looking through his mask he saw his 'brother' standing behind him with arms crossed over his chest leaning against the ledge.
"Damn it", Ben hissed under his mask then slammed the thief to the wall harder and threw him to boxes knocking him unconscious. "What the fuck are you doing here...Spider-Man?" He asked roughly.
Peter (in his Spiderman suit) grinned under his mask and walked to his 'brother' seeing the out-cold gunman. "You might need to work on your personality when you are patrolling", he commented Ben to do.
"What are you doing here? I had everything under control, Spider-Man so that you can leave. I saw him first and that's that", Ben snapped turning his face to the unconscious thief. Peter grinned under his mask shaking his head. "You can be a little more... in good behavior when you are fighting crime. If you're going to be a hero you need a little more work to do it correctly"
Ben scoffed and turned away from him. "I am not a superhero. Not like you. I am not a hero"
"Really? Then what's up with this?" Peter suggested.
"I wanted to hit something...besides you or Kaine or Jackal", he coldly says as his answer.
Peter shrugged his shoulders with a chuckle. "That'll do it for an answer,...bro"
Ben turned back to Peter and hissed at the word. "I am not your damn fucking brother so don't be saying that again, Spider-Man. I am nothing but your clone. A clone is nothing more than that"
Under his mask, Peter frowned. He always wanted to have a brother to not be so alone, to have as a friend besides having...Harry...to have someone by his side and to love and have someone in his family to hold on to but at least he still has his dear Aunt May and his wife Mary Jane. When he first met Ben and Kaine, yes there were fights and battles were endless but in time after working together he grew to love his clones as his brothers and sees them as his brothers.
"Well to you, but to me...you and Kaine are my brothers, Ben. And...I always wanted to be an older brother"
Ben gazed at him over his shoulder, his long hair strands covering his face not saying anything then they heard sounds of whimpering and mumbling from the gunman who awakened and crawled trying to escape and Ben snickered at the pitiful sight. "Aww, how cute, he's trying to get away", Ben mocked adorably and Peter walked to him placing his hand on his shoulder, Ben felt the need to punch him. He grinned under his mask, "Scarlet Spider, shall we...brother?"
Ben frowned underneath his spider mask. That word and his ass being here is starting to piss me off.
They both walked to the gunman who was still staggering.
The cops soon arrived seeing the gunman the store owner described hanging upside down unconscious completely wrapped in a bundle of sticky spider webs, the cops stared at the tall buildings. "Spider-Man", the cop said while his partner tried to get the man down and take him to justice.
In the tall rooftop of the building, Spider-Man and Scarlet Spider stared down from afar. Ben began to take his departure but Spider-Man stopped him. "Hey, where you going?" Peter asked cheerfully.
"Now that you took my punching bag from me and ruined the chance for me to beat someone up, I'm going to have someone else to catch and hit. To find a bigger fish to fry", Ben answered him rudely. Peter smirked at him and walked in front of him with his knuckles resting on his hips. "Come on, Ben, this is no way to act to a brother, brother", he said and Ben grabbed him by the neck.
"We. Are. Not. Friends. Or. Brothers. Peter, so keep that in your thick skull and leave me alone", Ben pushed him away ready to leave and Peter coughed and walked to him again.
"I don't care what you are or how you and Kaine were created, Ben, all I care about is that both of you were made by my blood which makes three of us brothers"
Ben turned to him with a scoff. "If you want to baby someone with your brother crap go find Kaine"
"I plan to. I plan for both of you to meet my unborn baby. I really would love for you both to be part of my child's life, having her or his uncles be part of his or her life", Peter truthfully said with a grin under his mask.
Ben stopped at the words and his jealousy and hatred towards him, himself, and Jackal grew. He always thought he was the real Spider-Man but he wasn't, he was sure that the life he thought was his was his but it wasn't and never will be. He thought MJ was his but she wasn't. He does have all the power but he isn't sure he has the responsibility himself like his 'brother'. Ben scoffed with a growl and stepped over the ledge with a fist-clenched. "Go away, Parker, we are not brothers and never will be, so get lost or I will kill you for Jackal"
Peter groaned shaking his head. "I know you thought you were me, Kaine thought so too. I am not sure what you two thought but we managed to work together to fight our enemy, and now I want you and Kaine to be part of my life...as a family, Ben. To have both of you as my brothers"
Ben ignored his words that sounded with such devotion and truth, he was not sure why he was acting like this to him and Kaine. "Go away. Now"
Peter stared at Ben and sighed deeply spotted something resting on the floor and grinned. "Fine. If my words can't help you see what I say about you and Kaine being my brothers, then this may help you see it", he said walking to the floor and picking up a chunk of glass. Ben turned seeing him holding a shard piece of glass and he spun to him. "Peter, what the hell are you doing?"
Spider-Man ignores him, takes off his glove, and opens a vein from his hand with the glass point covered in red and Ben stares at him with shock and confusion stupidity. "What the hell, Peter?!"
Peter grunted from the building burning pain of his self-wound and held his other tight letting the bleeding continue then started walking to his clone brother and sibling. "This is a blood thing, once I give you your hand we make a pact that we are full brothers and this is a blood bond thing that can never be broken, Ben. Makes us blood brothers"
Ben stared at him. "What the fuck are you talking about?"
Peter takes off his mask showing his face with a smile. "Once you give me your hand we are full brothers...you and Kaine and I are brothers once we are one by blood, brother. Once we do this this makes us brothers and this is my proof that you and Kaine are my brothers. No one not even Jackal can change that, Ben", he explained his self-motives and smiled. "And besides it would be cool for Spider-Man to have sidekicks"
Ben stared at him listening to his words that were filling his ears, then Peter's hand and the glass and shook his head taking off his mask and made his smile. "You are Spider-Man, 'bro'? You care too fucking much that is starting to make me care", he chuckled, and Peter smiled. The clone took the glass from him took off his glove and repeated his clone 'brother's' actions opening a vein in his hand blood began to show and slowly drip Peter lifted his blooded hand and Ben lifted his and their hands met in a tight handshake feeling their blood meet and entering one another's hands, wounds, and blood.
Ben and Peter with their masks resting on the roof floor stared at their hands feeling their blood coursing.
Peter glared at his brother ceremoniously with a smile. "Now, brother, you are my brother. Now all I need is to find Kaine and get him to do this work, and I have both of you as my brothers"
Ben chuckled feeling like he had finally found a family. "You are my...brother...you think you can get Kaine to go with it?"
Peter sighed with a nervous but determined grin, he cleared his throat and stood tall. "I can try, bro. Yeah. I think I can"
"You seem a little scared,...bro", Ben said with a understanding grin and Peter chuckled.
"I can try to find him...and get him to become my brother, all I have to do is to stop him from trying to kill me", Peter joked.
"Good luck with that, bro", Ben said with a grin. They both chuckled and released their blood hands with their palms covered in red then used their webbing to bandage their hands and saw police sirens ringing in the streets below having the cars move out of their way for them to head to their destination.
The now blood brothers stared at each other and their masks and back at each other with brotherly grins.
"Shall we, bro?" Peter asked waving his hand.
"Let's shall, bro", Ben answered then pushed Peter down off the building and saw him do some webbing and he joined him, Peter took off his mask only showing his mouth with a grin.
"Not cool, bro", Peter said.
"Cool too", Ben said with a grin under his mask. "So tell me about my new nephew or niece", his brother smiled.
Not far in the shadows, a ghostly shadow watches his 'brothers' growling under his mask staring at them taking off to be heroes. Kaine holds nothing to his brothers but hatred only hatred, he is not a hero, he has such power but unlike his brothers, he holds no responsibility but only power.
