As Venom's taunting words hung in the air, a surge of determination filled Tobey and Lily. They exchanged a knowing glance, a silent agreement passing between them. They had to protect each other, fight as a team, and defeat this monster before them together.
With renewed focus, Tobey launched himself at Venom, his movements fluid and precise. He weaved through the tendrils of the symbiote, delivering swift punches and kicks. Lily followed suit, her attacks calculated and strategic, utilizing her enhanced strength and agility.
The battle unfolded with blinding speed. Tobey swung gracefully through the air, dodging Venom's relentless assaults. Lily darted around, landing swift blows whenever she found an opening. Together, they formed an unstoppable force, each complementing the other's fighting style.
As they fought, Tobey couldn't help but marvel at Lily's tenacity and skill. For someone so young, she displayed an astonishing level of bravery and prowess. It reminded him of his own journey as Spider-Man, the countless battles he had fought to protect the innocent.
Their combined efforts gradually wore down Venom, the symbiote struggling to keep up with their relentless assault. Tobey seized an opportunity, launching a series of powerful strikes, exploiting the weaknesses he had learned from his previous encounters with the symbiote.
Meanwhile, Lily took advantage of her smaller size, slipping through Venom's defenses and striking at its vulnerable spots. She aimed for the gaps between the tendrils, delivering precise blows that temporarily weakened the symbiote's hold on Eddie.
The battle reached its climax as Tobey and Lily executed a perfectly timed combination attack. Tobey leaped into the air, spinning rapidly as he released a barrage of web projectiles. The webs encased Venom, ensnaring it in a cocoon-like prison.
With Venom momentarily restrained, Lily felt an odd energy within her, her body glowing with a faint blue light, which was a surprise as that's never happened before. Putting her confusion to the side, for now, Lily focusing her newfound energy and unleashed a powerful blast from her small fist, aimed directly at Eddies sludge covered figure.
The energy blast connected with explosive force, ripping through the webbing with ease. The impact shattered the nearby building, the debris raining down as Venom was blown off of Eddies body and slithered into a nearby sewerage drain to escape capture.
(A/N: I usually don't like letting defeated enemies run off, but I have an idea so just wait and see.)
As the dust settled, Eddie collapsed at the epicenter of the destruction. His eyes wide open in shock before swiftly fluttering shut, knocked out cold.
Tobey landed beside Lily after checking the drain, disappointed to find that Venom was already long gone. "Good work, kid. I don't think that was a spider power, but it certainly came in handy, didn't it?"
"Uhh, yeah..." Lily wasn't sure what it was either, but she knew someone who probably would.
Suddenly, a familiar voice could be heard over Lily's left shoulder. "Huh? Am I late?"
Lily's eyes widened as she turned find her father standing there, a golden portal at his back. "Daddy!" she cried out, rushing toward him, her face split into a happy and relieved smile.
Peter caught Lily in his arms, holding her tightly. The relief in his eyes was palpable as he whispered, "The Daddy's always seem to come out at times like this, huh?"
Lily nodded, tears of relief streaming down her face. "I thought I was alone here..."
Peter walked up to Tobey, who stared at Peter like a dear in headlights. "Thanks for looking after my daughter. I owe you one."
Tobey nodded slowly, Peter's face bringing back memories of a rather unforgettable and traumatizing. "It was my pleasure..." He muttered in a daze.
Every fiber of Tobeys being was telling him to beat the sh*t out of the man in front of him, yet he held back, unsure of himself and unwilling to do such a thing in front of the guys child.
Peter nodded, noticing his counterparts odd behavior. 'Is he the one? I mean, what are the the odds that both Spider-Men that I've met are here?'
(A/N: 100%...)
Peaking their heads out of the portal, Ned, MJ, May, Andrew, and Tom watched the heartwarming father and daughter reunion. Tom and MJ turned and stared at one another, picturing themselves with a daughter of their own.
Seeing that the onlookers in the area were starting to pour into the street, Peter gestured to Eddie Brocks body. "We should probably get going. Can you grab him for me?"
Without taking his eyes off of Peter, Tobey grabbed his former co-worker and followed Peter and Lily through the portal. "Is this a gateway?" He asked as they stepped into the Undercroft, the portal snapping shut behind them.
And just when Tobey thought he couldn't get anymore surprises, Tom appeared before him, another suspect to the incident with his uncle. 'Maybe they just look like him?'
Peter gently set Lily down on the floor, listening to her grunt in discomfort, unhappy that they were separated. 'She can be too cute sometimes...'
As Peter turned to get Eddie into a cell, he noticed May and MJ approaching Lily with eager and curious looks on their faces.
May's eyes sparkled with delight as she knelt down to Lily's level, her voice filled with warmth. "Oh, look at you, sweetheart! Aren't you the cutest little Spider-Girl I've ever seen!"
She may not have ever mentioned it, but May has always wanted a daughter, so knowing that her alternate self already had a cute little granddaughter made her very jealous. Eyeing Tom and MJ out of the corner of her eye, she hoped they would make her a little Lily as well.
Maybe not so soon though. After all, they have college to worry about...
Lily blinked in surprise, momentarily forgetting the parallel nature of this universe. She hesitated, trying to process the familiarity of May's face. Then it clicked in her mind, and she smiled back, but with a touch of confusion. "You're not my grandma, are you?"
May's expression softened, and she exchanged a glance with Peter, her eyes conveying a mix of fondness and sadness. "No, sweetheart, I'm not. But you can call me Aunt May if you'd like?"
Meanwhile, MJ couldn't contain her curiosity as she admired Lily's Spider-Girl suit. "You look incredible! And those moves out there? Impressive. I wish I could do that.. How old are you?"
"You can in my universe. We go on patrol around the city together." Lily explained, feeling a surge of pride at MJ's praise. "And I'm technically a year old, but this body is around 11 years old." She answered, confusing everyone.
But before they could ask any questions, Lily glanced at Tom, then back at her father, and marveled at the uncanny resemblance between them. "Dad," she called, pointing at Tom, "he looks just like you, but short!"
Tom instantly deflate at her comment, which seemed to strike him like an arrow, perfectly hitting his weak spot.
Peter chuckled as he tossed Eddie into a cell, ignoring the glares of the other resident inmates. "That's because he is me, in a way. We're different versions of the same person. If I had to guess, I'd say that our universes are very close to each other."
Tobey followed after Peter, his eyes widening at the sight of Doc Ock and Green Goblin, who was still napping in his cell.
Lily's eyes widened with wonder, her A.I. mind grappling with the concept of multiverse counterparts. "Oh yeah!" She exclaimed as if remembering something. "Dad, do you know what this is?"
Concentrating on the same feeling she had during the fight with Venom, Lily's body began to glow in a blue energy.
Peter looked at Lily, his head nodding up and down. "Did you just unlock it? Do you remember what happened before? Anything unusual?"
Lily furrowed her brow, trying to recall the moments leading up to her newfound power. "I... I think it happened when I was fighting Venom. It was like a surge of energy, like something awakening inside me," she explained, her voice filled with wonder.
Peter's nodded, happy for his daughters progress. "I know what it is," he said, his tone filled with excitement. "Remember those metal bones of yours? They're not just for decoration, you know."
May interjected, confusion evident on her face. "Metal bones? What the hell does that mean?"
Peter turned to May, his gaze filled with understanding. "Lily wasn't born the normal way. I made her through technology and magic. And her bones weren't an exception. They were forged in the heart of a star," he explained, his words bringing a hint of awe to the room. "The dwarves of Nidavellir specially crafted each of them out of a mixture of Uru and Vibranium."
Tom eyes widened, a mix of surprise and admiration. "Vibranium..." He had no idea what Uru was but Vibrabium was certainly impressive.
Peter nodded, a proud smile on his face. "Indeed. Uru is the same metal that was used to make Thor's hammer, Mjolnir. It possesses incredible energy properties. Lily's bones are infused with that energy, allowing her to tap into its power."
Lily looked down at her hands, her eyes shimmering with a mix of amazement. "So, these powers... they come from my bones?"
Peter nodded, placing a hand on her shoulder. "Basically, yeah. Remember when we watched Dragon Ball Z together?" He asks, receiving a nod from her. "Well, think of these powers like the energy manipulation from that show."
Tom and MJ exchanged glances, their eyes reflecting a mixture of awe and concern. "Did you specifically have the Dwarves make her bones like that so your daughter could be a super saiyan?" Tom asked pointedly.
Peter looked away, unable to stare anyone in the eye. "No... I would never do such a thing..."
While everyone was glaring at Peter with a healthy bit of skepticism, Lily stood to the side, cupping her hands together in a practiced motion. "Kame... Hame..." She recited as a small ball of blue energy appeared between her palms.
"Hey!" Peter called out before she could go any further. "No kamehameha waves inside." He said, getting a nod of approval from the surrounding adults. "If you want to practice, then go to the roof and shoot them up into the sky."
Instantly, the surrounding adults looked at Peter as if her were crazy, losing faith in his parenting abilities.
"Okay!" Lily nodded her little head and rushed off to the roof.
"Wait!" Tom yelled as he chased after her. "You need to watch out for planes and birds..."
