A Symbiote's Best Friend

It had been three days since Jessica started to work at Dr Connors's lab. This new job and the work she waw doing was all she could think about. She looked up at her ceiling from her bed and sighed she couldn't stop thinking about how many lives could be helped with the work she was doing. She let out another sigh and reached out to Sling in her thoughts.

"You still haven't told me where you came from." Jessica said.

"I've said it once, I'll say it again I don't want to talk about were I came from." Sling said irritably.

"Oh come on. Whenever you do mention your past it's only about Eric. But even then you are very closed about him."

"Stop talking."

"Why? I'm just curious about-"

"I said stop talking!" Sling yelled in Jessica's mind making her go quiet. "Just shut up about it..."

"O-ok." Jessica said. She fell silent and stared up in to the ceiling. She soon reached over to her side table and grabbed her phone. She turned it on and was nearly blinded by the light on it. Once her eyes adjusted she opened the news and found a late night live broadcast of a car chase.

"We have confirmed that one of the passengers in the car that is being chased by police is in fact Josephine Lorenzini." Said the reporter

"You up for a late night chase?" Jessica asked.

"Of course I am." Sling said as she started to wrap around Jessica.

"We can't shake em boss!" The driver of the car said as he took a sharp turn.

"I don't care how you do it, just make it happen." Josephine yelled from the back seat.

"I'm trying!"

There was a sudden thump on the roof of the car.

"Oh, no, no, no! It's her!" Josephine yelled as he pulled his pistol out of its holster before firing at the roof of the car.

There were a few more thumps that were heading to the front of the car. Eventually Spider-girl dropped down from the top of the car and on to the hood. She glared at Josephine through the glass her eyes looking like knives.

Without a second thought Josephine pointed his gun at her and fired three shots. The drive instinctively moved his head away and made a very sharp turn to the left in to a construction site. Spider-girl jumped of the car as it skidded before flipping upside-down.

Spider-girl landed on the ground a few metres away from the crashed car and watched as several men crawled out of the broken windows. She gave a quick glance behind herself and watched as the police car stopped just outside the construction site. She returned her attention to the criminals before sprinting towards them.

The first man she kicked back to the ground and before turning to hit Josephine in head with her fist. She turned to face the third man who was on the other side of the car. She jumped up on to the car before pouncing at him. She used her webs to yank him towards her before drop kicking him back to the ground.

The man held his chest before standing back up and pointing his gun at her. She rushed towards him the man fired one shot and she moved to the side, dodging the bullet. She looked back and saw where it landed.

Her eyes widened as she saw Josephine had blood pouring out the front of his head. He stumbled backwards before falling to the ground. She looked back at the gun man who was frozen in shock. She took this moment to rush at him and strike him across the face with the back of her foot.

She heard footsteps coming down from behind her. She turned to face the sound only to find two police officers approaching her.

"Spider-Girl, are you alright?" The first officer asked.

"I'm fine, but I'm afraid Josephine is dead." Spider-girl said.

"I know, I saw the shot as we were coming dow-" The officer was interrupted as a spray of blood came out of his forehead and on to Spider-girl. The officer fell to the ground and behind him Spider-girl could see Josephine sitting up right with his gun pointed at her while holding the bloody wound on his head. She stood there in utter shock shaking at the sight. She wiped the blood from her face and starred at Josephine.

He fired a shot at the other officer hitting her in the stomach, the officer yelled as she fell to the ground clutching the wound. Josephine then returned his attention to Spider-girl and firing two more shots at her. She doged out of the way of the gun fire and landed infront of some short scaffolding. Josephine fired one more shot at her, she crouched out the way and listened to the bullet hit one of the metal struts of the scaffolding.

There was a loud creak from the scaffolding. Spider-girl turned to face it only to see the metal structure falling towards her. She tried to move out the way of the structure but it was to late. The scaffolding crashed down on her, as the metal structure broke apart a pain Spider-girl had never felt before shot through her head. She sreamed and clutched her head as the ringing from the metal sounded out. She felt the symbiote produce tentacles as it tried to push the metal off of her.

Eventually the ringing stopped and she carefully got out from under the broken structure.

"What was that?" She asked herself. Before she could get a response she saw the female officer on the ground. She quickly ran over to her and began to help her. She carefully moved the officer's hands away from the wound before gently covering it in her webs.

"That should help." She said. The officer nodded as she began to relax. Spider-girl looked up and around trying to find Josephine, but he was gone.

"Damn it."

Jessica sat on a rooftop and rubbed her head, she kept thinking about the pain she experienced when the scaffolding fell on her.

"Sling, what was that pain?" She asked.

"The vibrations from the metal caused our discomfort." Sling responded.

"Discomfort? No thar wasn't discomfort, that was one of the most painful things I've experienced!"

"You can blame me for that. My species is sensitive to lound sounds. This can cause pain and if intense enough, it can kill us."

"Oh, fantastic. Maybe you should have mentioned that earlier." Jessica said as she sarcastically clapped her hands. "Now, we need to find Josephine, he can't of got far."

"No, we need to go home and rest, let the police look for him." Sling countered

"But..."

"No, buts. You need sleep."

Jessica sighed before nodding.

"You're right, let's go home."

The CCTV footage of Spider-girl in pain under the scaffolding played across a computer screen, the man sitting at the desks eyes widned.

"We got it." He said before standing up and rushing out of the room. He ran down several corridors before barging in to a new room. There he saw a man in yellow armour working on a pair of large gauntlets.

"Sir, I have something you will want to see." The man said between his breaths.

"This better be good, you know how busy I am." The Shocker said.

"Sir, I found it. The one that was in New York."

At those words Shocker looked up from his gauntlets and at the man.

"Where?" He asked.

"In the town of Canterlot. It seems to have found a new host."

Shocker nodded his head before putting on his gauntlets.

"Round up the men, we leave imminently."
