Daybreak

"Ok I think I may have made a mistake putting this old suit on." Jason muttered as he fired a webline to swing from. He chalked it up to being caught in the moment, but he should have given a second thought to putting the old red and blacks on.

For one, it stank like dirt. Like when you stain a shirt, but it's all over...including his face.

Then there was the fact that this suit was five years old and was too tight...everywhere. "Oh god I really hope I don't split a hole in my lower half." he said in a small voice.

But since it was Jason, it was probably going to happen, whether he wanted it to or not.

Firing a webline, Jason kicked his legs out to swing to his left. After getting out of the cemetery Jason had decided to go right after Korra and the other members of the Sinister Six.

So he'd been swinging up and down streets to try and find them. as the hero landed on a rooftop he looked around, "Ok! Come on universe! Do your thing!" he called out, just expecting something to happen, he just hopped it didn't include him getting bodily harm.

Thankfully it came to him in the form of a lighting strike coming from a city street a few blocks away. "Thanks universe! You rule!" Spider-Man called out before diving off the side and shooting a web to carry him towards the place he saw the Lightning originate from.

Swinging overtop buildings, he leapt off the webline and landed on a flagpole overlooking the scene below. "Ok...so that's a thing." he muttered, seeing both the Avengers and the Sinister Six fighting...well five now.

Captain was going head to head with Kraven, Ant Man and Falcon were double teaming Mysterio, Luke Cage and Korra were dealing with Sandman, and Ms. Marvel was trying to take care of the Hobgoblin.

"Well if I'm going to have to choose, I think I'll have to go with old pumpkin face." Spider-Man said as he jumped down towards the Hobgoblin as he threw a pumpkin bomb at Ms. Marvel.

His foot collided with the side of Hobbies's head, kicking off he went on course towards Ms. Marvel, "Heads up!" he shouted, turning around and firing a web up towards Ms. Marvel. She grabbed the webbing and pulled it close before swinging him towards Hobgoblin.

Jason tackled him off the glider and onto the side of a building, "So if you'll just stay here that would be great." the hero said as he cover the man in webbing, taking his bag of tricks with him. Pulling out a pumpkin bomb, he threw the bomb down to Sandman's back.

"Oh...crap." he said before the bomb blew, leaving his legs standing as his sand tried to reform.

"Korra! Sand turns to glass with fire!" Spider-Man should as he swung overhead and double kicked Kraven off Cap's shield. Korra drew both her arms back and unleashed a wave of fire that engulfed Sandman. When the smoke cleared, shards of glass scattered the street.

She looked over to see Jason hanging Kraven upside down in a cocoon of webbing. "See, this here is payback for going shawshank on me earlier. And this is just for being a tool." he said, posing Kraven so that spun around like a top.

Jason snickered to himself as he left Kraven, it felt good to act juvenile after so long. The only one who was left was Mysterio who was currently surrounded by the heroes, "I-I give! I surrender!" he said, raising his hands in the air.

Spider-Man ran over and threw his fist through the fishbowl and knocked him out. "Yeah, but then I did that." he said without a real care as the man fell back. Turning back to the heroes he barely had enough time to react as Korra caught him in a hug, "Ow! Ow! Ow! Just shanked, just shanked!" he yelped out.

Korra instantly recoiled, " Oh god! I'm so sorry!" she said apologetically as he held his hand over the wound. "How are you still alive!? You got stabbed!" she asked.

"Korra, you have no idea what I've been hit with, I'm fine." he said, easing a hand to try and calm her. Jason felt a hand on his shoulder, he turned to see Captain with the rest of the Avengers, "I suppose you guys know my big secret as well?" he asked, not exactly caring at this point.

Cap nodded, "We can't thank you enough for your help Spider-Man. But we need to get you looked at somewhere safe." he said, noticing the way the hero was clutching his wound.

Jason wanted to protest, usually he would but this was the Captain. If he says you're getting medical attention, you're getting medical attention.

(000)

Maybe I should have just bled out. Jason thought as the airbending kids, his Aunt, Uncle, Mako, Asami, and Bolin all stared at his unmasked face as Korra tended to his cut.

"...oh for crying out loud, just speak! I hate awkward silences more than I hate awkward conversations."Jason said, wanting to clear the air now rather than later.

"YOUR SPIDER-MAN!?" Bolin yelled, getting the biggest question out of the way.

"Nah I just dead like this for kicks." he said sarcastically. "Yeah I am, next one?" he asked.

Asami shook her head, "Ok, ignoring the fact that you kept this from us, how in the world can you-you-do this!?" she asked, gesturing to him.

He looked down at his costume then back up to Asami and everyone else staring at him, flooding his hands together he took a breath. "Look...when I first got my powers, I chose not to do something. Something I knew could have stopped someone from getting hurt. But because if that, someone close to me died, and I've done everything in my power to make sure that never happens again." he explained.

The room was shocked by that, "Jason," Pema stepped forward and kneeled down in front of him, "Words can't even begin to describe how proud of you I am. But why did you leave?" she asked.

Jason pursed his lips together, "I couldn't save Akiko the day she died. And...she picked me up when I fell aunt Pem...and I just didn't want to get back up after that." he explained, looking down at the ground.

Jason felt someone hug his arm, he turned to see Jinora, "Jason you don't need to be alone. We're all here for you." she said wisely as her brother and sister hugged his neck and other arm.

Jason smiled, "Yeah I know...you guys will always have my back." he said in agreement.

After answering the rest of their questions and having his wound patched up, the others left him alone for some time to heal.

As well as getting him patched up, they had also retreated back to the island where Iron Man had stayed behind to make sure everyone was safe. They had also brought back the Sinister Six by miniaturizing them with Pym particles and dumping them in the air bison stables without their equipment.

So for now, Jason was going to rest and recover before making his next move. That was be heard someone trip to the ground.

Looking at the other end of the couch that he was resting on, he saw someone peek out from the side before retreated back with a gasp. Jason smirked, he had a good idea of who it might be.

He waited a few minutes before the small boy peeked out around the side of the couch. Jason smiled, "Hey there." he greeted, this time the head didn't recoil back from being spotted.

The small boy was silent for a few seconds, "Hi." he greeted back. Silence followed again for a while, "Who are you?" he asked.

"I'm Jason. You?" he asked, still smiling.

"My name's Rohan...are you...are you my cousin?" he asked, taking a tentative step off from around the side of the couch. Jason nodded, causing the young boy's eyes to widen to the size of saucers, "Wow...you're big."

"Why thank you." Jason said gratefully. Usually when compared to other heroes, Jason was actually a little short-

"Not as big as that one guy with the shield, but still big." Rohan continued, making the young adult chuckle.

"Well you got my sense of humor so that's something." the hero said with a smirk.

Rohan laughed, "Mom and dad say that too." he said with a smile.

The two family members stayed like that for a while before Rohan spoke up, "Why are you wearing that?" he asked bluntly as he pointed to the Spider in the center of his chest.

Because my dead girlfriend's ghost told me to do it or she'd kick my but. Jason thought amusingly. "It's my superhero costume." he said, deciding not to cover it up.

"What's a superhero?" Rohan asked.

Jason thought for a moment, of course he knew nothing about superheroes but still how do you explain what they do? "Well...we save people, like firemen and policemen. Except we have powers...and we do it for free." he trailed off.

"That sucks." Rohan said.

"Yeah. You're telling me." Jason mumbled,his mind starting to think of all the money he could make if he trademarked his brand.

"The powers sound cool though." he added, making the young adult nod in agreement. "What can you do?" he asked.

Jason smiled before lifting his arms back behind his head and lifting himself up into a handstand on the arm of the couch, Rohan's eyes went wider than dinner plates at the act, "Woah..." he whispered in awe of the display.

The sting in his gut reminded him of his wound but it only caused discomfort and not pain. Dropping from his position to the ground he smiled, "Don't tell your mom I did that ok?" he asked.

Rohan nodded his head with enthusiasm, "Our secret?" he asked hopefully.

Jason ruffles his hair, "Yep." he agreed as he began to walk to the door with Rohan by his side. Exiting the main house, Jason and his youngest cousin made their way towards the mess hall.

Stepping inside, Jason saw the everyone all gathered around the table in the center of the room. Rohan ran ahead over his mother who scooped him up in her arms, "You fit for duty soldier?" Cap asked as Jason walked over.

"Cap, I've been electrocuted, choked, and lord kiss what else. Believe me I'm fine, so what's our next move?" he asked, taking a seat between Mis. Marvel and Korra.

Tobi, whom Jason had to hold back a laugh from being bald, started. "With what we've gotten from our friends resting in the stable, we have full clearance to take in Mayor Ying." he explained.

"Simply put, we'll barge in and arrest him, dealing with whatever resistance along the way." Cap detailed for the group. He turned to Tenzin and Pema, "We can't possibly begin to thank you for your help, but it would be safer for you to leave than stay here for the time being." he explained.

Ant Man raised a hand, "I'll fly you guys out of here on the Quinjet, it'll be safer than flying on your bison." he explained. The airbending family didn't have any objections with this.

Tobi nodded, "Alright ladies, gentlemen, big guys, let's finish this."

"Hey! It's arachnid!" Jason protested.

No one cared.

(000)

"We'll all have a nice long talk when this is over, I swear." Jason said as he gave his aunt and uncle a final hug goodbye. The hover plane behind them was still going through initial startup so they still had some time to say goodbye.

Tenzin put a hand on his shoulder, "We will. Stay safe Jason." he said, giving his nephew a supporting smile.

He turned to his aunt to grasped the sides of his head gently and tilted it forward, planting a loving kiss on his forehead. "Come back to us..."

Jason smiled, "I always do." he said before kneeling in front of the four kids, wrapping the four up in a hug he smiled, "Take care of your mom and dad for me you three. Spidy's order's." he said in a mock commanding tone.

The four nodded before Jason gave them each an affectionate peck on the forehead as the engines to the Quinjet started to hum to life. As the family entered the jet, Jason waved to Ant Man in the pilot seat.

He gave him s salute before the net began to take off.

As the jet flew away, Jason turned towards the top of the stars where the rest of the team was waiting. "Sorry, I just needed to..." he trailed off, his request seeming never in comparison to the grand scheme of things going on.

"Don't sweat it kid, we'd all do the same." Iron Man said, clamping a hand down on his shoulder. He held out his other one, in his palm was a earpiece, "Plug this in your ear, you can stay in contact with the rest of us." he explained as Jason picked up the device and did as he was told.

Bolin picked at the ear he stuck his into, "Am I the only one worried about getting my brain electrocuted?" he asked.

Jason felt chuckled, "As the guy who self with sparkles on a regular basis, let me tell you it doesn't hurt as bad as you think." he said as the group began to walk down the stairs.

"Really?" Bolin asked hopefully.

"Yep. Hurts much worse." Jason said, slipping his mask down over his face as Bolin gulped. "But get, we're going agrees guy who wears nothing but a shit and bow tie. How bad could this be?"

(000)

"Man I seriously can't catch a break here." Spider-Man murmured to himself as he readied for a fight. After taking the ferry to dock, the avengers were quickly surrounded by the entire Reign police force. Which was about eighty people strong.

"Gentlemen I strongly suggest that you stand down now before things turn ugly." Captain spoke loudly enough for the bulk of the forces to hear.

"And I strongly urge you to agree, and I'm the walking flying tank." Iron Man said from above with Falcon and Ms. Marvel at his sides. Luke, Cap, and Korra stood in front, ready to defend against any attack that came their way.

Jason and the others were behind them, ready to strike in case things went awry.

Jason could see that these guys were trigger happy, and they didn't exactly seemed threatened by their small group. "If you let us through I gay enter everyone gets a brownie. We can do that, right Shellheaf?" Spider-Man asked.

"Oh yeah. Definitely." she said in agreement.

Silence followed for a full minute. "I want a brownie." a voice in the back of the crowd of reign officers said.

That was the last thing said before a complete onslaught of fire, water, and earth was fired at the team all at once. Cap's shield and Luke's skin held off the attack as the flyers rose through the air and dodged the projectiles.

"AVENGERS TAKE THEM DOWN!" Iron Man called out as he fired his repulsors down into the crowd at their lowest setting as not to seriously harm the officers.

"Darn! I thought they'd fall for it!" Spider-Man exclaimed as he leapt over the front line and crashed feet first into pair of officers while the others charged forward as well.

Cap charged into the front shield first, swinging his arms outward as he pressed further into the group he knocked back the men trying to swarm him. Winding his shield back, he threw it into the crowd, rebounding off the men and nearby objects like a pinball as its owner dispatched the other men with hand to hand tactics.

Meanwhile, Ms. Marvel flew overhead firing a continuous beam of energy to the ground, knocking men to the ground unconscious. As one of them was about to take a shot at her with fire, a metal feather collided with his chest knocking the air from his lungs.

Falcon flew overhead, swinging his arms out in broad stroke to shoot as many shots off as possible before flapping his wings and accessing higher into the air.

"Hey Cap, quick question, where's the big guns? I mean Luke is good and all but I thought you'd at least bring Thor or Hulk." Jason asked as he elbowed a man in the face before throwing his dose forward into another man with enough force to send him flying until a few other people.

Cap jumped up onto one of the officer's heads and kicked off, catching his shield in the process before falling with his weapon facing down. Rolling onto his feet, he kicked his boot into a man's chest that sent him flying back. "They're on the reserve roster. We call them in when we need them, hiding the Hulk isn't exactly easy." he explained.

Spider-Man sprayed webbing into the eyes of one of the enemies, while he was busy getting it out of his eyes. Luke Cage picked him up by the foot and threw him into the surround crowd with enough force they were almost like biking pins.

Team Avatar was working like a well oiled Machine, Korra dealing with the bulk of the opposition while Asami, Mako, and Bolin dealt with any stragglers.

Soon the bulk of the opposition was dealt with, the remaining forces retreated.

"So this reserve thing, is it weekends only or what?" Jason asked jokingly.

"Uh, guys." Korra said, drawing everyone's attention to where she was pointing. Right down the street in front of them was a pissed off looking Mayor Ying.

"I suppose if you want something done right, you need to do it yourself." he growled out as the Avengers surrounded him quickly.

"Is it just me or is this weird? I mean seriously I'm getting a bad feeling about this. Spider-Man said. His Spider Sense wasn't going off but he felt it in his gut, something bad was gonna happen.

"Weird or not, we are stopping this whole mess." Luke stated a matter of factly as he walked forward, just as he was about to grab Ying by his shoulder, his hand grabbed Luke's wrist, stopping it. "Oh sweet-"

Ying FLUNG Luke over his shoulder, "CHISTMAS!" he yelled as he crashed through the wall of a building.

"Uh...everyone saw that right?" Jason asked, his deep feeling of dread rising up.

Ying snapped his head to Spider-Man, "You just had to come back didn't you?! If you hadn't have shown up we could have taken care of them!" she growled out.

We?

Oh my god. Jason thought as his eyes widened at his realization.

Ying's suit began to turn black, "Tobi, what's happening?" Cap asked as the team backed away from Ying. His white tie began to stretch out under his arms and connected to his back.

"I know what this is." Jason said, not having moved from his spot in front of Ying as his form started to grow in height to the point he was over twelve feet tall. "I gotta know, is that you Xang? Or did you find some other poor soul to bond to?" he asked as the blackness overcame Ying's head in a dome.

White pseudo eyes stretched across the head, a set of razor sharp teeth from an outstretched jaw had a long tongue slither out of it's mouth. "We've evolved, we are no longer bonded to a single enitity. We are many, we will be all! WE ARE POISON TO YOU, WE ARE VENOM!" the Symbiote yelled as he craned his head back and roared.

"Uh, ok, so Spidy, what the hell is that?" Tobi asked from his earpiece.

"It's a Symbiote, remember that suit I got in the Secret War? Well you know how if you feed a goldfish it gets bigger? Same thing here basically." he explained, backing away as Venom's claw craned back.

The hand slammed down towards him, Jason backflipped out of its reach. Tendrils shot out from the arm towards him, the hero jumped back to a wall as the mandibles closed in on him before they were blasted away by Iron Man's high density laser.

"So how did you get rid of it?" Tobi asked as Spider-Man leapt from the surface and fired a web to get above Venom.

"Well high voltage usually works but..." he trailed off as he saw tendrils go after the other Avengers. Korra was defending herself by swinging waves of fire out along with Mako. Asami jabbed her electrified glove to whatever tendril came close to her, but the barge only angered Venom more.

"...well he was a lot smaller back then. Really smaller. So can you call up Thor to give us a big bolt of lightning? That'd probably seal the deal." he asked from the edge of a building.

"Thor is in another dimension, out of phone range. We're all we got." Tobi explained as Falcon and Ms. Marvel started scooping up the Avengers and Team Avatar and bringing them up to the rooftop along with Spider-Man.

Ok webhead, think, how do you stop a giant rampaging Symbiote? he asked himself in his head.

He looked around the rooftops, this was Republic City, didn't matter what the name was this place had everything he needed. He lived here for most his life, he was born here, so how does he use it to help him.

His mind went back to one of his fights with Electro. He connected weblines to power regulators at Harmony Tower and let Electro run a current through them, the regulators drained him of his powers...but if he could reverse and send electricity into Venom from multiple power sources, it could work.

"Tobi what place nearby takes the most juice?" he asked.

Iron Man looked at him, "There's a substation a few blocks away. What are you thinking?" she asked, looking down he raised his hands in front of him and kicked his thrusters in, backing away as Venom's claw crushed the secrtion of rooftop the Heroes where on.

As they fled, Jason explained his plan over the radio. "Everyone get there and set it up, Tobi can walk you through it, it's a simple set up." he said, grabbing Korra and Asami and leaping into the open air as Venom's black webbing splattered the ground.

Firing a webline, he swing through the air with Venom following their trail. "Wait what are you going to do?" Korra asked.

"Please, Venom hates me more than JJ. I'll keep him busy." he said, dropping the girls on a rooftop and jumping off the side. "Hey Venom! Did we ever find out why you needed so many teeth!?" He yelled out as he fired webshots at Venom's eye to be annoying.

"THE BETTER TO EAT YOU WITH!" He replied as he swung after the hero as he craned up into the air.

"Meep." Jason squeaked out as he zipped to the side of the building to avoid another tendril.

I always say I can't catch a break. But boy I can't ever catch a break. he thought as he sprinted up the building. Venom clawed his way up behind him, taking chunks of mortar and brick out of the side of the building.

Reaching the rooftop, Jason turned and readied himself as Venom climbed over the edge. "Here we are, one last time O-rou. And by the end, you will be one of us once more." the monster stated as he charged forward.

Jason spring forward and swung a uppercut into Venom's jaw at full force. It felt like his hand was broken now. But it made Venom stumble.

Oh god this is gonna hurt. Jason thought as he charged forward. A tendril shot out from Venom's chest, landing a blow to the hero's shoulder, sending him flying back and the shoulder having a popping sound to it.

"Oh what's wrong? Your favorite cheerleader die and now you can't-" Venom started before Spider-Man sprung up from the ground and swung a right hook with enough force to knock some of his sharp teeth out.

He kept up the assault, he shot webbing into the Symbiote eyes, blinding it so he could roundhouse the side of Venom's leg, making him kneel and he somersaulted over his head, kicking him in the back of the head for good measure.

Before he could land though, a tendril wrapped around his leg pulling him forward and slamming him into the ground in front of Venom.

That's when he started up ding Jsson into the ground, "WHAT'S WRONG O-ROU!? WILL TO GO ON IS GONE? WHAT? WHERES THAT FIGHT YOU HAD IN YOU A MOMENT AGO!?" He demanded as he kept hitting the downed hero.

When he stopped, Jason's costume was targeted, the only price still being held together was the spider on his bruised and bloody chest. His mask was nothing but threads, his Web Shooters were destroyed.

But he was smiling. He was Smiling that goofy grin he had when he told one of his bad jokes and someone laughs at it. "What's so funny?" Venom inquired leaning in close to Jason.

The adult laughed, "I'm smiling because she was right." he said, slamming both his hands to the sides of Venom's head, the beast let out a howl as he reeled back. Jason struggled to get back up onto his feet. Just as Venom was beginning to recover, he ran forward.

Aki was right. he thought. She alone didn't drive me, but people I love did.

He pounced to Venom full force, knocking him off his feet and off the side of the building, down towards the power station the Avengers were at, the one they just radioed in was all set.

But Jason wasn't done. He kept up the attack, as they both fell, Jason striked Venom over and over. Pema, Tenzin, Meelo, Ikki, Jinora, Rohan, Korra, Asami, Mako, Bolin, Tobi, Cap, Luke, Falcon, Danji, Leng, Akiko.

With each name he hit him, with each name, he hit harder, and when he thought of his one true love. He jumped off, just in time for Iron Man to catch him and fly away while Venom came crashing down into the trap.

As his vision faded, Jason smiled.

He knew he could take him.

(000)

Three months.

Three months ago Ying, Venom, whoever he was, was revealed to the world. And with that revelation, the Reign was disbanded permanently. The wall that kept Republic City hostage was torn down, and Republic City was born anew.

And when it was all said and done, the Avengers had outed Spider-Man as the city's true savior. Without whom, Ying's secret police would still be unknown and Ying himself may just have been taken down.

Jason didn't find out until after he woke up that he had almost every bone in his boy broken by Venom. He spent three weeks in a body cast before he was able to walk around again.

As soon as he was up for it, Jason started going out on patrol again. But for some reason, the city was quiet.

So here, three months after winning back the city, Jason was back at the graveyard. The same one he had retrieved his suit from.

"They got the slime locked up somewhere where no human will ever come into contact with it again. I'm still surprised that it survived that amount of voltage." he explained to the gravestone he was kneeling in front of.

Instead of sadness at the sight of Akiko's grave, Jason felt a feeling of completion. "You know." he started. "When I decided to come back...I had absolutely no idea what I was doing." he admitted.

"But...I think...or I like to anyway, that it was you that brought me here." he said, voicing his suspicions to the stone. "For five years, I felt...dead on the inside. And I was just ready to move on and meet you...but you made me realize something." he said.

"You made me realize that it doesn't matter. It doesn't matter when I get there, what does matter is that at the end of this tunnel, you'll be there waiting for me in the light." he finished with a proud smile on his face.

'Jason you there?' Tobi asked from the earpiece.

Jason pressed a finger to his ear, "Yeah. I read you Tobi. What's up?"

'We got a mission. Suit up and get here Avenger.' he said, Jason smirking at his new title.

He stood from the grave, "I'll see you one day Akiko-"

He Walked away, "Until, then, I have Responsibilities.

AN: AND THERE OT IS LADIES AND GENTS.
