Disclaimer: Spidergirl and the rest of the MC2 universe belong to Marvel. I’m just borrowing them for my own and hopefully the amusement of others.
Notes: This story takes place after Spidergirl The end. It will rely heavily on the original clone saga and the stuff presented there in.
Jackal’s Game
Book One: Family Matters
Prologue
She stumbled from the chamber barely able to stand. “My dear there are some clothes for you in the small dresser by the mirror,” A voice said. “You should put them on before you come out to talk face to face with me.” She didn’t need clothes she thought as she tried to shape shift some out of her body but nothing happened. “Your powers are gone my dear put on the clothes I left for you and come out we have much to talk about April Parker.” It was then that she saw her face reflected in a small mirror by the doorway it was the face and hairstyle she wore when she was pretending to be April Parker May’s cousin.
She dropped to her knees in shock at the face staring back at her. It wasn’t her real face but no matter how hard she tried she couldn’t change it back. “I am losing my patience April, your sister is arriving and if you are not out here when she drops through the skylight I might have to hurt her.” The voice said angrily. May the thought of her being harmed snapped her out of her shock enough to go to the dresser and pull on the simple sweats inside. She made her way out through the door just as the skylight opened and May dressed in costume dropped in.
“April it really is you,” May said rushing forward and pulling her into a hug. “I didn’t believe it when I got the call that you’d be here.” She didn’t know how to respond to that so she stood there stiffly while May hugged her. “How did you survive the explosion?”
“I saved her,” the voice said again and May turned obviously surprised toward the sound. Her own eyes followed and she saw that the voice was coming from a monitor on the wall displaying the image of a heavily bandaged man. “I am also the man responsible for one of you being alive in the first place I cloned the infant May Parker for Norman Osborn.”
She could feel May tensing preparing to take them out of there. “That’s why you altered my face and took my powers away isn’t it?” She demanded before May could take any action. “You knew I wasn’t the real Mayday Parker so you wanted to keep me from being a threat.” Even after what her other self had shown her about how the world would be without May it still hurt to admit she was probably the clone.
“I don’t know for sure which of you is the clone; the only man who ever did was Norman Osborn,” The man on the screen said shaking his heavily bandaged head. “The last few times I asked him about which of you was real and which was not the answer changed I believe towards the end even he forgot which of you was the real May Parker.” She watched as the man turned looking at something behind him where ever he was then turned back. “I changed your appearance because I knew that your symbiote abilities would be burned out by the process that saved your life.” She glanced over at May who looked as if she was listening intently. “I figured giving you the face of April Parker the identity you adopted would be the safest way to return you to your family in your de-powered state.” The man then laughed. “You don’t have to worry though your symbiote powers are probably gone for good your hereditary powers should return in the next few months as your body recovers.” She felt a sense of relief at those words she wouldn’t remain helpless. “Now May Parker we must discuss the fee for saving the life of your sister and returning her to you.”
“Fee,” May said warily. She didn’t blame her for being wary this man knew a great deal about them and their identity and they had no idea who was under those bandages. “What kind of fee and how did you know my cell number to call me and make me come here?” She wondered what May meant by that.
“The fee is just a simple message to pass on to your father,” the man said and she could hear the smile in his voice. “I need you to tell him not to be so hard on April just because he thinks she’s a clone.” The man’s voice got even more pleased. “After all he is a clone himself and shouldn’t take his identity issues out on his new daughter.”
“My father is not a clone,” May said angrily approaching the screen. “How dare you suggest that at some point in my life my father has been replaced by a clone I’d know if he’d been replaced.” She recognized that tone of voice it was the same one she’d used when she insisted she was the real May.
“The original Spiderman died long before either of you were born,” The man said and he was gone replaced by a photograph of a skeleton wearing a Spiderman suit laying at the bottom of something. “Your father and the man you know as Kaine are two of the surviving clones of the original Spiderman.” The man said reappearing. “Ask your father all about it when you see him,” he said and then May looked panicked. “You should leave my warehouse now it will explode in a few moments.”
May was already in motion grabbing her and carrying her out of the skylight. May was swinging the two of them away from the building when it exploded the force causing them to crash to the ground. “Are you alright?” May asked as she helped her to her feet.
“I think so,” She said to May quietly. “Are you going to ask your dad about what he said?” She really wanted to ask him but after what her other self showed her she knew she didn’t have the right. She would let May make up her mind.
“I don’t have a choice I have to ask him,” May said calmly. “Whoever that man is he knows so much about us that I have to tell Dad everything he said.” May turned toward the sirens approaching the burning building. “Let’s go home.” She didn’t bother pointing out that it wasn’t her home not really and just let May swing them off toward her house.
