"Hey, Doom! What's the big idea? You know you can't just go around blasting things with your fancy new toy, right?" Spider-Man shouted as he landed on the roof.

"Spider-Man! How nice of you to join me! I was hoping you would show up. You see, this is not just a toy. This is my new weapon of terrible mass destruction, powered by the cosmic energy I stole from Galactus himself.

Well, Hello There!

Well, if you're reading this, then good for you! This is the first of my stories, and the first story in a series called the Symbiote series. It's set in a world a lot like the MCU, with some minor differences. To find out more, read the introduction chapter before reading the story. However, that is just a suggestion. If you don't care to read an intro, then just start the story. The intro has nothing to do with the story itself.

(prologue + first two chapters only. read full at wattpad)Fourteen-year-old Andi Katsifaras has known nothing outside of H.Y.D.R.A labs. There was perhaps a brief time where she could remember living with her father but even those memories are tainted with violence and rejection. For years, Andi has suffered, being twisted and tortured into becoming something more than what she was naturally born as, but she's finally taking a stand and getting out.Amid all the chaos, the Avengers, working to destroy whatever is left of H.Y.D.R.A, stumble upon this girl, someone they could see as a potential recruit. Some members of the team are divided about her position on it, once she's taken under their wing for protection, but they'll all soon learn that their hand will be forced in the decision making process, because something bigger and stronger is threatening the fate of the world, and they need all the help they can get.​​​​​​​ Andi will soon find herself needing to decide whether she would rather live a life away from all she has been plagued with since birth, or whether she would rather use everything she was given to try and make the world a better place.

"You should have-" his voice trailed off as he placed a hand to Thor's armored chest. He continued through labored breaths, "you shoul- you should have gone for the head," Thanos finishes with Thor's hammer pierced into his chest. Despite the pain, the Titan snapped his fingers and immediately the universe bore the effects of the infinity stones. The Titan's idea of mercy was felt even within a small diner in New York City.

Jessica Drew sat eating with her family celebrating her 17th birthday when the young girl ceased to exist in their world with the only remnants of her being there was that of the dust particles that scattered around where she stood. Her family was left to bear the after-effects of Thanos's actions.

With all life now restored 5 years later thanks to the Avengers, Jessica Drew returns to the diner to find the building abandoned and others coming back in a state of confusion similar to herself. She arrives home with the idea of resuming the life she lived prior to "The Blip," but the bite from a radioactive spider has different plans for the young girl. She must now navigate life with her newfound abilities and decide whether to sit and watch as her hometown falls into the hands of a crew of drug dealers, or save the city she loves.
