Working in the Shadows (Hybrid)

[Miguel O'Hara]

"Get down!" Were the last words that Miguel had managed to say as he moved an older woman out of the way as the men that he had managed to web up earlier on a lighting poll that would light up the street. That had been a little bit of a shock to him as he felt the bullets hit his shoulders but he wasn't worried, his healing factor would take care of them in a matter of seconds. As for the woman he wasn't so sure. Miguel was currently posing as Spider-Man 2099 of SHIELD and he mostly worked on his own. But often he was willing to do things together with other members. Perhaps it was just the spidey persona to go that way and see how things went often.

"I am really fed up with you guys. Were I live, if you did a crime you were throne in jail without any questions." Miguel said trying to threaten them but it really came kinda weak as the bad guys just laughed at him as they went. Today was going to be tough and rough and he just knew it.

"You think that's gonna scare us Spidey? The boss here is the big one you've gotta worry about. He rules with an iron fist over the little mob group we've got running." He said with a laugh.

"Well then send this as a message for him." Miguel said as he came up after the barrage of bullets came as he climbed up the wall rather fast and slashed at their guns with his claws. The claws that he possessed were surprisingly strong at that rate as the weapon fell into fragments. Suppose he could've done a lot worse, but Miguel wasn't going to try and kill someone for some petty crime like this. Spider-Man 2099, had his own venom in his teeth, that might've caused someone to go into paralysis, if he was really desperate or if things got bad he might have to use it.

But he hated the idea of using his teeth, it almost made him feel feral at that point. Miguel did have his sanity at some points too. "Heay that wasn't nice! Wait until the boss hears about this!" The guy said before Miguel brought out his foot and gave him a hard kick adn that knocked him out. "Geez, you guys really need to shut up." Miguel grumbled as he really wasn't in a mood to listen to them talk and yammer away about how great their team was. Like any team, they'd be sent to jail and rot. They'd never change. But still Miguel could only wonder why he was sent to this time. Was there some important mission that he needed to do or help save the world? He honestly missed his own time, in fact he hadn't seen his mother or his two other brothers in weeks. And it sure felt lonely here...

It took a lot for Hybrid to have considered coming back to New York when he had been so bent on never returning unless under dire circumstances. But, he had found himself drawn here on a new lead for a mob group, a connection or branch located here and required his attention. The circumstances seemed dire for once and in a need to let off some steam from the constant frustrations of this job, Hybrid had allowed himself to fall to the worse of his personas: Riot.

After having traveled for a few days and gotten settled, Hybrid ha slipped to a roof top to allow himself to shift to his usual state, but instead of the usual red and black he was now a deep purple and black, his more monstrous appearance evident by elongated claws and visible fanged mouth, showing Hybrid was out for blood. Riot following his instinct to look for the kill, being calm enough to allow his Lasher and Agony personas to have some influence in guiding him so he didn't kill innocent civilians, all three somewhat bickering but never steering from their course. And it seemed to pay off as they heard the sounds of what seemed to be a scuffle, Riot creeping in the shadows along an alleyway, clinging to the wall to see.

He spotted Miguel first, the blue and red costume giving away that this one was certainly a masked hero, further evident to the webbed criminals. But he listened, hearing the mention of a boss and making Riot narrow his eyes. They weren't mob members, to his knowledge, but they would suffice for his hunger for blood as he moved closer. "Kicking them down won't make much of a statement little spider." Riot's deeper, growly voice spoke, letting out a soft hiss as he showed himself just enough in the light. "You want to make them feel the pain, feel what they cause for others." Riot chuckled in a wicked, sick gleeful way as several tendrils came from his form.

He could see the shock and fear in the eyes of the goons, dropping down to reveal his form, which was larger than the likes of Lasher or Agony, his smaller, leaner forms. "This is how you send a message." Without hesitation, Riot extended the several tendrils to stab the webbed and helpless men, leaving blood to be splattered in some places and practically turning them into swiss cheese.

Then, he turned to the one who had mouthed off before. "I'm sure your boss won't mind finding all of you in such a state, maybe it's time he knows not all heroes are soft and merciful." Riot hissed, raising his claws and slashing the man at the mid-section to chest, leaving a rather gory sight and ignoring the blood that landed on his own form. He even looked to Miguel with rage-filled eyes, "Heroes...always too soft to make a real statement."

"Are you nuts? That is the last thing I wanted for them. You do realize since you killed them we won't be able to get out any more information." MIguel said as he felt frustrated and surprised that this guy was on a rampage during New York's rush hour in the evening hours. Miguel could also tell that this guy was up to no good, perhaps a super villain. He could remember his Venom and Carnage they were not exactly happy times for him and he honestly wished he was able to forget. But that wasn't going to happen.

Hybrid's body formed a deep red in Miguel's infared vision since it was almost impossible to see for him with his other parts of his vision. The lights were too bright in some areas of New York but this worked just fine. He prepared himself in case this guy was going to fight. Then an idea struck him despite him not liking this guy, perhaps there was away around this.

"So you want to know who their boss is buddy? Why don't you team up with me to try and figure this out. Without killing me." Miguel said as he brought out his own sharp claws showing that he knew how to defend himself. "After all the enemy of my enemy is my friend." He said.

"And I'm not going easy or soft if you decide to attack. So take that as a warning. I've delt with your kind before." Miguel said as he quickly realized who and what Hybrid was. He was a symbiote. If Symbiotes were in the future they certainly were in the past as well. And he poised himself on the roof of the one building. He could hear some of the humans down below but luckily none of them had noticed the carnage that was taking root right above them. If things got bad, Miguel would have to call SHIELD. "Be careful what you pick, buddy." Miguel said with a warning tone.
