Spider-Man: Duty And Loss Chapter 77: Mother Load

With Peter's spider sense it made sense that he would open the door, he was the only one that could react fast enough if something happened. Of course Ben could have also opened the door; if he was. .h.i.t by something he could probably shrugged the blow off, though after facing the green energy blasts they weren't going to take a chance.

Thankfully Peter's spider sense gave no signal as he pushed the door open. Sticking his head through for a quick peek, the smile on his face grew wider as he spotted crate after crate of Vibranium, though his eyes did widen a bit at the amount.

Shuri had told him that Doom had made off with quite a bit of vibranium, but there were at least 1 d.a.m.n Ton from the looks of things! He was actually surprised that Wakanda didn't just invade Doom right away, d.a.m.n all the political ramifications. From Peter's memories Shuri's said the most anyone every made off with, was about 2 kilograms, this was 1000 times that amount.

But that wasn't the only reason he was smiling, it was where the crates of vibranium where placed. Sitting in the middle of the room, just off to the side was a large advanced cargo plane. With a slim design that Peter had never seen before, the tech that he could make out put it right up there with Stark tech, no doubt something Doom personally created.

Walking in slowly, Peter and the others looked around at the huge hanger that they found themselves in! Yes a hanger, the finale reason that Peter was smiling. He could just make out the hanger doors on the other side of the room. Now they wouldn't have to find a ride out of here!

Peter felt the urge to laugh come up, but stopped himself. 'It's never this easy.' With that thought acting as a bucket of water dampening his mood, as the reality that his luck was more than likely going to take a downwards spiral in the next few minutes, Peter got his head in the game.

Turning to look at Reed, who was taking quite the interest with the small amount of Vibranium that could be seen, he spoke quickly. "Reed do you think you can fly that thing?" Reed tore his gaze away from the vibranium to look at the sleek cargo s.h.i.+p.

Looking at it with a critical eye for a few seconds, he nodded his head slowly. "I should be able to figure out its workings relatively fast. But the more pressing manner is transporting the Vibranium to the craft and opening the hanger doors." Peter nodded his head in appreciation as he made his way towards the crates.

'He isn't called the smartest man in the world for no reason; I don't think I would be able to figure out the controls in a few minutes. I think I would just try and get Crystal to take control, we are on a timetable.'

"Ok cool, I'll quickly deal with the Vibranium and then think of something to do about the hanger doors; you get to the s.h.i.+p and start it up." Reed gave a quizzical expression as he heard the response, but as he watched his jaw literally fell to the ground. Being able to stretch his body sometimes had its draw backs.

If Sue and Ben also had his powers they would have also had their jaws drop to the ground. Because as Peter stood in front of the ma.s.sive stack of crates, his body started to wriggle, or more like ripple, as Venom started to s.h.i.+ft and expand outwards from his chest. Streaming outwards it was like a mouth as it shot out and covered all the crates in sight.

In just a few seconds the black substance started to retract back to Peter, and where there was once 1 Ton of Vibranium was a clear area devoid of any dust. If they hadn't seen the crates beforehand they would have thought nothing had ever been there.

They looked from the spot to Spider-Man that was rubbing his belly as if he just ate a good meal. Looking back to the spot and then at him again. They repeated this action a few times before Ben couldn't take it anymore. "What the h.e.l.l?!"

Peter at least had the grace to look embarra.s.sed as he turned to the others. *Cough* Giving a small cough and rubbing the back of his neck he spoke up quietly. "The symbiote has a special ability that I recently found out. I think it's like a pocket dimension, but I'm not entirely sure." Reed, Sue and Ben's jaws were still hanging loosely at his explanation, though there was an intrigued glimmer in both Sue and Reeds eyes.

Being looked at as if he was a tender piece of meat sent a small s.h.i.+ver down Peter's spine. Well if he was being honest, he didn't mind the look from someone like Felicia, or Sue who was looking at him like that right now, but seeing Reed with the same expression just felt wrong on so many levels.

Before Reed could start to quiz him about the subject to quench his scientific thirst, Peter moved them along. "Of course it does drain him quite a bit…" As if to prove his point Venom started to retract even more, centering in on Peter's chest before slipping behind his original red and blue costume settling in to regain his strength.

Peter's eyes slide down for a second to look at Venom before continuing. "Look we'll talk about it later, this castle is giving me the creeps, I think we should split before tall, dark and gloomy comes hollering." Reed stopped himself and nodded his head, with that out of the way; they just had to get out of here now.

Before anyone else could say anything a new voice appeared in the room, as a different set of doors opened, letting in the ruler of the castle.
