Alex POV
It was Halloween.
I was super excited.
Me, peter Ned, MJ, had all devised a plan. We hung out the day before Halloween and would watch scary movies and eat candy and then regret all of our life decisions in the morning. And then me and Peter would go out and patrol most of the day and night on actual Halloween.
MJ would stay back at my apartment and hand out candy to the kids came by. My apartment did a little haunted house on the ground floor so MJ would hand out candy at my door for some of the kids that went up that way.
Ned would help me and Peter with tech and coms and also play music on our patrol. And to make sure that MJ doesn't scare kids to much. She said she needs more faces for her crisis note book and that children make it funnier.
Venom agreed with her.
I even made a new version of my suit that I have been using for the past week for Halloween. I replaced most of the straps and harness with a orange color instead of plain black. My gloves and boots were also now orange. I also added a clip on orange cape with a black pumpkin design on the back. The cape could come off if I wanted it to just in case I needed to ditch it if it got stuck. But this year I wanted to try it out.
It was a small change from the all black suit but this was Halloween so I made an exception.
(Also yes I did take the original photo from The Dc webtoons Wane family adventures Spoiler- that's the super hero- . I just colored over it so I can't really take credit for it. But I did color over the original design)
Peter also had a different suit for the week. Instead of the normal red and blues on the suit it was now a white and gray suit. The red had been replaced with white and the blue had been replaced with a light gray. So he said he was a ghost. Creative.
Once the day got dark on Halloween night the two hero's suited up in there Halloween themed suits. The two friends that would be staying back set up out on the couch.
I walked out of my room in my suit with my mask in hand as Peter came out of the bathroom at the same time mask also in hand.
When the two heroes faced each other Alex put up her fingers in a finger gun and made a clicking noise and winked.
"Looking good hot stuff" I said before flopping on the couch.
"Thanks Alex" he laughed and grabbed a snickers from the Halloween bowl and ate it.
MJ came up behind him and smacked his head. "Those are for the trick or treaters get your own spider boy"
"Spider-Man" Peter grumbled.
"Not with that voice crack you not" I sassed from my place on the couch.
"911 I just witnessed a murder" Venom teased as her head came out from my shoulder.
Ned snickered a little, which was very fitting (hehe puns)
"Ned your supposed to be on my side" Peter wined.
Ned put his hands up in a surrender motion "hey I'm just a innocent guy. I also can't win against MJ she has scary good points" he pointed out.
"That I do" MJ smiled before flopped down on my lap and turning her head to the T.V were hocus pocus was playing.
"Ok so when the clock hits about 6:00 we should probably head out" I say to Peter and Ned well running my hands through MJ's thick hair and Venom layed her head on the arm of the couch.
"Sounds like a plan to me" Peter said.
"Me to" Ned chipped in.
"You losers better get more candy to eat when your done with patrol" MJ said pointing a finger and me and Peter. "You almost ate all the candy last night" she blamed us.
"Hey it's not my fault for my fast metabolism" Peter said plopping down on the couch with another piece of candy in his hands.
"Ya and it's not my fault I have a alien who likes to eat chocolate and human brains" I pouted faking innocence.
"She's right it's not her fault it's really my fault" Venom said from the arm of the couch.
"Your still on a ban from that"Peter pointed out. I poked him in the ribs with my foot and he squeaked and pulled away.
I gasped "Peter Parker is ticklish" I poked him again.
"No no don't you dare try that you're ticklish to" he pointed out curling in a ball to protect himself.
"You are!?" MJ gasped sitting up a little.
"MJ don't you dare" I told her. She didn't listen she just started to tickle me.
I screamed a little and curled up in a ball to try to protect myself.
"MJ -I -will - throw- you off - the - couch!" I yelled out laughing in between laughs.
"You wouldn't dare" she looked at me.
Behind her Venom was smiling looking back and forth at MJ ad me.
"Do it V" I called out. Venom pushed MJ off the couch and she let out a scream and fell of the couch and onto the floor.
"Oh your dead" she glared at me and lunged. But Ned was to fast.
"All right settle down ladies put your claws away" Ned said spraying me Venom and MJ with water out of a spray bottle.
"How the hell did you get a spray bottle!" Venom cried out shaking off the water.
"Found it in your bathroom" Ned shrugged.
"Thief! arrest him. It's a crime!" Venom walled from my shoulder.
"How is that a crime though?" Ned ask's.
"It's a crime against my heart!!" Venom cried.
Ned just sprayed her again.
"Oi !" I yelled out "don't hurt my baby" I cooed over Venoms head cradling it. Venom stuck her young out at Ned who just had a look of fake hurt on his face.
I laughed and looked over at the clock and gasped.
"Duck nuggets we need to go!" I hop up and grab my mask off the table.
"Did you just say duck nuggets?" MJ asked.
"Yes I did. And regret nothing" I deadpan.
"Ok V let's go"
"Spider-Man. Boy. child. thing let's go!" I say eating one last piece of candy and clipping on my mask and slipping on my cape.
"Pull the lever Cronk!" I say as Ned dramatically flips open the lever to open the window.
"Wrong leverrrrr" I say as I flip the actual lever to open the window.
"Ok let's go" I say as Peter slips on his mask.
Venoms takes over my body swinging us over to a roof to check coms. We land on a roof and Peter plops down next to me.
Venom goes back into me so I'm just in my suit. I raise my finger to my ear and press the button for the coms to turn on.
"Venom reporting for duty, my friends are you there" I ask dramaticly.
Ned was on the other line "I hear you loud and clear Venom" he checked in.
"And Spider-Man reporting for duty" Peter said.
"Yup I hear you" "coms looking good" Ned confirmed.
"Ok see anything that looks odd" I ask.
We heard some clicks as Ned pulled up the police scanner. Don't ask how we got it. "Nothing big right now you guys could probably swing around a bit" Ned suggested. "But there is a big neighborhood that's holding a big Halloween party for the town. Big lights music so you could swing by"
"Fire hazard" I state.
"Pretty much"
When the holidays come around lots of people put up big lights so sometimes the outlets can catch on fire. Not pretty. So we go around and double check nothing will catch on fire. With the enhanced senses it's a little easier to find that stuff.
"Ok let's swing over and say hi" Peter stated before swinging off.
I could feel Venom taking over by body once again as she reached her arms out and griped the building and pulled us off in the direction Peter went.
I could feel a slight chill from the wind it was October so it was slightly cold. I prefer fall but winters not bad. Venom and me hate the warm and heat it's damaging to us. But the hard thing is that good ol Peter hastes winter. He's part spider and spiders don't like the cold so that transferred over to Peter. So no more fun in the snow.
I could see the lights and hear people laughing and talking. Just over a few buildings the Halloween party was in full swing. There were kids walking around and collecting candy from venders stands. Parents were watching the kids and hanging out with there friends.
Me and Peter dropped down on the street and peoples heads snapped towards us.
"Hey don't mind us just patrolling" Peter waves.
"Hello, happy Halloween" I waved as Venom went back in hiding.
After a few minutes we were on our way again around the party. People stoped us a few times for photos which me and Peter were ok with. Normally we don't take photos on the streets but this was a party, so why not.
We walked along for a bit making sure nothing was out of place and safe.
We are about to leave when I felt a little tug on the corner of my cape. I turned around and looked down to see a boy around the age of 6 wearing a venom mask that was sitting on top of his head and he was in a black suit. It was messy and probably bought from a Halloween store and was also just a little to big for him.
The boy looked at me nervously as he fiddled with a piece of paper in his hands.
"Umm I-i think your really cool and I Uh, was wondering if you could sign this for me?" The boy asked in a small voice holding a piece of paper out for me.
I crouched down to about his level and grabbed the piece of paper and looked at it. Instead of a sloppy drawn picture the photo was actually cool.
Instead of crayons it was a spray paint like work. The background colors were a mix of bright neon colors splattered around. The main piece was a photo of me and Venom. Half of the face was Venoms with a big sharp toothed smile. The other part was me. My mask was on you could see my blond hair flow around my shoulders. The area were me and Venoms face mixed was like it was fade-in into my normal skin. It was awesome.
"This is really good" I say to the boy.
"T-thanks my daddy made it for me" he pointed to a tall man with a beard holding a pumpkin basket filled with candy. I gave a small wave over and he waved back.
"You said you wanted me to sign this" I ask.
"Mhm" he nods enthusiastically.
"Ok well let me do that for you" I say pulling out a pen. My pen is a neon pink with a big fuzz ball on top. I love it.
I quickly sign my name (My hero name) on the page.
The Venom.
"Ok here you go. Also tell your dad he is a very good artist" I tell the boy.
"Ok good buy Ms. Venom have a good night" the boy smiles before running off back to his dad showing him the signature.
I smile and sit up and face Peter,
"Ok now we can go" I smile still happy from he encounter with the little boy.
"How come you get all the love what about me" he whines dramatically.
"Come on dreamer you'll get it soon enough" I pat his cheek before Venom takes over and swings us through the streets of New York.
We patrol a little more with Ned and MJ talking to us and playing some music before heading back home.
But something felt odd for the last part of patrol. Almost like something or someone was watching us. Peter felt it to. We tried to look for it but nothing came up. It's weird. But I might just be paranoid I mean it's just Halloween. So it's nothing right?.
I just shrugged it off and showered and put on some pjs and climes onto the couch and pile of blankets wear MJ, Peter, and Ned were sleeping over once again.
With the thought of the feeling I got at patrol off of my mind I fell into a nice steady sleep.
But little did we know that would be one of the last normal patrols we would have for a while.
A/N sorry this took so long I had to do a lot of preparations for Halloween I'm also at a hotel right now updating this so ya
But happy Halloween!k
